[QUOTE="novaman, post: 716555, member: 2744"] I haven't calculated lately but just off the top of my head my cost of production is in the $12 range so anything above that is profit. I've heard lots of dairyman talking about needing 16, 17, even 18 bucks to make anything. While I'm not going to say I wouldn't take that price, I certainly can't say that I would need that kind of money to stay in business. In fact I am hoping this price doesn't move upward to far or there will be plenty of producers itching to get the tank fuller in hopes of making more profit short term. Everybody thinks I'm crazy when I say that I wish milk would sit around $13-14 and stay there. History shows that this is a fair price, not being extreme either way. Yes corn,diesel, fertilizer is higher now than years past but if you apply yourself you can make it on $13 milk. I certainly don't support a government supply management program but I do wish producers would regulate themselves a bit. This would smooth the cyclical ride of milk prices. Alright I've rambled enough. Lets hear how crazy my thoughts are. [/QUOTE]
