[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 694461, member: 6897"] Nova, I know nothing of how you folks operate up there but in this area there is no light at the end of the tunnel. True, corn prices are down, but protein is sky high. Most by-products used in feed are still strong as well although a bit less expensive than last year. Fuel is also down, but utilities, labor, equipment, barn supplies etc. are all still expensive. With the drought in Texas hay will be very expensive. Corn silage will cost over $80 a ton by the time you get it in the pit or silo or if you have to buy it and truck it very far. For the guy who has gradually drained all his savings over the past year there isn't much to look forward to. To the guy that says he's making money on $9.50 a hundred-weight milk I say BS. [/QUOTE]
