Dairy farmers where I live are losing money or barely braking even. Increases in the cost of feed, fertilizer, machinery and other services have far outpaced what they are getting for their milk. A tractor that cost 120K ten years ago is now over 300K and they can't afford to replace old machinery. Families that have been in the industry for generations are now calling it quits and it is a business that no one other than large corps can afford to get into.
