Not to sound like a whiner but thats about the long and short of the situation. We are in a usually safe area for rain we have our bad yrs miss a season but always pick up some sort next time round but this is unheard of for us to miss 3 crops in arow. All our grass is eatin bare since we had none grow this yr. We planted on 4 inchs in october and havent had any rain till this weekend and had 2 inchs so far. We are normaly self seficent just buy in meal and grain in the bad yrs when we put all our crops up as hay and silage. We dont push things roll along at 16/20L cows.

Not much of a margin between cost of production and what we payed in a reasonable yr. Lot of farms been buying feed for a lot of yrs on and off this is just the last straw for them. Im 3rd generation here now milking cows. Been back home 11 yrs with mum and dad. 4th generation is 2 1/2 if theres not a big shake up in inustry soon i might be the last milker. And from what you guys say on here its no different over there same problems. Least bean farmers will be right in 10 yrs time when everyone milking soybeans for soy milk
