Not quite.  I decided not to invest in moderization, in part, because there
was no guarentee that the ROI would be there, due to the screwy way the
milk market is run.   My ROI when I milk cows was pretty good, but that 22
months of low milk prices was a complete turn off when it comes to future
risks.

The US can do better if we want young people to take up dairy farming.
