[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 1520251, member: 9115"] Northern Mo. is getting desperate. I have enough hay for my lessor to get by on feed, but water is the major issue. We're siphoning water out of everything. Most of our ponds, or tanks as some call them, are no deeper than my armpits. May have to sell the cows, if something doesn't happen soon. Absolutly no winter water. Hearing about 2k water bills for 100 head on city water. No way that works. Goverment is giving welfare money, but doesn't help on monthly water bills. Currently ressurecting a well for water till the freeze comes. Getting $64 an acre for winter grazing from FSA office. No tilling tritcitale, ceral rye, and radishes in grubbed off pastures. Seed is around 40-42 an acre. Have to pay someone with a no till drill, and still fertilize. Gonna' help, but not the answer. In a position that if I sell cows, the taxes will eat me up. 50% or more. Usually they have a deferement where if you buy back in so many years, you won't owe the tax. Problem is, I am quitting. Dont want to buy cows in 3 or 4 years. Oh well, I think I will go to my house in Florida, play golf every day, and forget about it. gs [/QUOTE]
