Employees are a Finite Resource
11:06 | 03/09/2022
Sustainability has many definitions. Often it’s defined as taking care of the resources it takes to run our business. In many cases, the resources are finite and must be preserved for future generations. Yet more and more, I see farms unable to sustain their growth because of labor.
Recycled Bedding's Impact on Milk Quality
22:10 | 21/08/2022
The use of reclaimed sand and recycled manure solids has increased to help farmers lower bedding costs. Cornell research has shown that bedding costs can be reduced by $0.30/cwt. of milk produced when managed correctly. One concern for adopting recycled bedding systems has been the potential negative impact on milk quality. However, when bedding meets quality thresholds, farms that use recycled bedding produce the same quality of milk as those that use fresh bedding.

Where Will Milk Prices Find Support?
21:36 | 10/08/2022
The recent decline of Class III milk futures is one for the record books. The fall of over $5.00 per cwt since early June certainly was unexpected when looking at reduced cattle numbers, limited expansions taking place due to high costs and a tight heifer market, and high feed costs. However, when looking at the impact on milk price seen during the Great Recession of 2007 into 2009, it maybe should not have been such a surprise. In a previous article I wrote on June 13, 2022, I compared the impact the recession had on milk prices. When the recession began at the end of 2007, the Class III milk price was $21.64. Over the period of the recession, price fell to a low of $9.31. Class IV price moved from $21.87 to a low of $9.45. So far, the current decline fails in comparison.
