Congrats on a pretty uneventful inspection. When I had my dairy the inspector would always find something no matter how hard we worked to prepare for it. Never anything big. Normally little nit-picky stuff. We had our own creamery on site and made milk products as well as sold bulk milk. The creamery got most of the attention, so he didn't spend much time looking at the milking operation so much, but went through the creamery with a fine tooth comb. I remember my first inspection. I was just starting up and started populating the farm. The inspector made a comment about how his parents had a dairy their entire life and never made a dime until they sold it and couldn't understand why anybody would do it, then said Good Luck. His comments made me feel like he expected us to fail from the beginning. We did ok. Weren't getting rich, but loved it and made a living at it. Lots and lots of hours. I remember talking to another local dairy owner about a year into it and he asked how we were holding up? I told him we were doing ok, it's a lifestyle change for sure and he replied with "lifestyle hell, it's a sentence". Years later I sold it and was there when the new owners took over and had their first inspection. Inspector told them the same thing he told me and asked them why a dairy? ( he was pretty negative ) Anyway, I loved it and miss it. Do it again? Nope. I have the deepest respect for dairy farmers. They work way too hard for their money and free time is hard to come by. I will never complain about the price of a gallon of milk, cheese, ice cream, or anything else. It's cheap considering to the work that goes into it. I do miss the animals. Most were very easy to handle and gentle.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
