"The milk price is good, but expenses are terrible,"

Milk prices are likely to rise if feed prices continue to rise.

There was a safety net for dairy farmers but it has recently died. dairy-farm-safety-net-dies.  All of us should be praying for rain as the recent droughts have been causing feed prices to rise. 

68% of U.S. winter wheat crop is in drought


Often they are left with more cost then profit, resulting in small dairy farmers having to file for bankruptcy.

Pizza!



Think this was some pizza making competition.  Even if they didn't  win, I could help them clean up.  Its big enough to feed a town!

Bacon Twists


Bacon Twists  Season regularly then twist them up. Then bake.  


Droughts in Russia and The US have driven up pig feed costs mostly corn.  The price of corn will continue to rise also due to the forced production of ethanol regardless of its disappointing performance as a cheap fuel alternative.    It is hard to say whether the price of feed in Russia will affect US prices.


Some think it could rise at least 7%.  Farmers, as a result will be  forced to thin their herds to lessen the expense of feed their stock.  Might want to consider some long term storage to get the most out of the low prices we have now.
