Corn Rows

Thats an abundance of corn. It will be chopped into silage to feed dairy cows. The dairy operations will basically sign under contract for so much per ton to individual growers. Most farms are average in size and usually not large enough to support a large dairy herd. That is why dairy operations have to bid for corn acerage. The last dairy farmer I knew that went to organic production spent $10,000,000.00 for the land and milking facility. He went broke. One reason, the milk buyers didn't pay on time and now, the price has really dropped for milk and butter. He did have an ace in the hole however. Oil and natural gas was found under his acerage.
