dairyman will increase production and drive the price back down to cost =
of production and the whining starts all over again.
We probably have the natural resources in this country to =
produce milk for far less than the kiwis. What we do not have in the =
dairy industry in this country are entrepreneurs. Maybe the new =
production model for dairy in this country is 2000 acre dairies in =
Mississippi or Arkansas with production per cow lower than the kiwi =
system with cows lasting to 10+ years.
Interesting Brad. Have you been there or how do you come =
to this? I was in Louisiana in January and i see lots of potential. =
Close to a milk deficit region. Cheap irrigation. Supplement feeds right =
there. Some large tracts of land. Just lack of infrastructure. But you =
get a few operators that put in several 5-1000 cow set-ups as the kiwis =
will have done here before long and infrastructure will follow. Just =
need about 10,000 cows among say 5 owners. Once they prove the model the =
rest will follow. Just as has happened in west Texas/ east New Mexico.
