Dairy Farm Women

Okay…I’ve got a differing opinion with someone about dairy farm women. Now I want to take an informal poll of my own here…so it’s time to weigh in on this one.

My adversary says that there is bickering among farm women on whether dairy producers should use BST or not. He says that small producers blame large producers for the lower milk prices, when they are low, because large producers who use BST flood the market with milk. He thinks that when farm women get together this is a bone of contention among them.

I said that when dairy farm women get together they are so happy to be off the farm, they don’t want to argue with anyone. Instead they talk about where they got the best deal on rubber boots, what kinds of sickness they’ve had among their calves, how to get out of doing a particular chore that they hate doing and how much laundry will be waiting for them when they get home. Oh, and don’t forget how good the meal is…simply because they did not have to lift a finger to cook it.

He said I’m way off base on this….am I? So…do we bicker or not? That’s what I want to hear from you. As an industry is there contention among the ranks of dairy women or not….I want to hear from you!

By the way… my adversary is Trent Loos.
