I'm a proud small dairy farmer(40 cows) and I can't wait for more big dairy farms to fall. They are so inefficient and wasteful. Round here big farm(over 200 cows) have been dropping like flys.

Small grass based farms with colored breed cows are the future of dairy. Too many farmers back in the 70's and 80's bought into the idea of get big or get out. That ideas sure did make allot of money for bankers and made allot more ex dairy farmers. The problem with dairy farming today is that there isn't enough people with enthusiasm and fresh ideas to take the industry forward.
