Quotes

Before I go any farther, I also want to say that I discourage unsolicited advice from anyone. My attitude is, "If I want your advice, I will ask for it. Until then, keep it to yourself."
...If dairy farmers choose to join the insurance part of the program, they must agree to either cut production or have their milk check cut "during any month that the stabilization program is triggered by extremely tight margins ..." to attempt to bring milk supply into balance with demand
..." The report added, "Strong demand from Asia, a late-season drop in milk production in New Zealand, and basically flat output in Europe and the United States point to future price strength. The move lower was a nice correction, but the situation will be dicey once hot temperatures set in. The United States could continue to be the balancing plant for the world over the next several months."
"It appears that a weak economy that potentially limits revenue growth in the farm sector, followed by or along with, a rise in input costs that squeezes profit margins, are the most significant farm sector risks district respondents foresee in 2013" the report concluded
