They are being very careful not to mention the cows. That is the one thing they want you to forget.
They can plan for everything else and make it look good. There is no way they can make this look good for the cows.
I know it is hard for farmers to make a living. It must be tempting to go the factory farming route. The amount of money they make will not be worth the price the cows will pay. The milk they produce will not be as good. It will be the product of stressed cows.
The farmers who have gone organic are on the right track. I think people are starting to want organic foods. They are starting to care where their food comes from. So your neighbour is moving into the dark ages of farming when the public is shifting the other way.
It is sad that so many farmers still think that way. Your area seemed so good up until now.
Keep us posted.
