posts and threads does a person have to read on Nagtalk about no corn getting planted yet. Gettin kinda old. Getting to the point were it's a waste of time going to Double-Standard Talk and reading MT's endless whining and the rank and file corn farmers of America chime in, commiserating. We'll sell more cows this year and have enough corn to meet our own needs. It has to get pretty late before we can't grow HMSC. Last year we grew 1/2 of our needs but this year our goal is to grow all our needs. How many threads are started by dairy farmers complaining, about anything? I see very little dairy farmer dialogue anymore. Could it be that they are sick of row crop guys? Corn guys strung together 5 or 6 very profitable years and still they are a perennially disgruntled bunch.

Speaking of getting OLD I didn't follow your posts much on NAT. I think you posted in the livestock and marketing boards mostly, so I didn't see much you had to say over there. I'm starting to see why you got banned............does the phrase: BITCH..... BITCH..... BITCH..... come to mind. You have some sort of compulsion with that site, all you do is worry about what is going on over there. Give it a rest!!! Oh, and it doesn't matter if you sell the corn you grow or feed it......it's still worth $XXX. If you are loosing money feeding the corn to your cows (I gathered that form what you've said here), you'd be better off to sell the corn you grow. Let someone else produce the milk that is more efficient in the dairy business.

waawaa I must have hit a nerve. You guys lost demand and you know it. I never said the corn demand hasn't fallen off. I was commenting on your obsession with what folks are saying on NAT all the time.

Cheap entertainment, my friend BTW, when you can sell a cull dairy cow for $1,400, like you can now, who needs milk sales

& I got banned for saying "gang-bang". The first time I got banned for saying $hit. Garvo thought those words were fodder for banment Talk about virgin ears over there. If people got banned for bitching, there'd be a lot of 'em gone. But wait, you're missing the whole point, which is, selective banning of those who don't assimilate with the corn guys.

I've done my share of milking cows and bitching, not necessarily in that order, but I hardly assimilate with the corn guys. ;D Never planted a kernel of corn in my life, 'cept sweet corn of course. Did use the 2 row 3pt Ferguson planter on 8N a few times to do it to. Dad and a few neighbors used to plant corn before my time. They figured out that cultivating corn interfered too much with putting up hay. They also figured out this ain't corn country in the first place.

I find it funny Cousinit is complaining about row crop farmers complaining. It isn't like she hasn't done enough complaining about dairy farming.

ac, who are you anyhow? Do you post on Nagtalk?
Show me where I complain about dairy. Better yet, show me where I complain about it every damn day.
When corn guys complain every day, it tends to have less effect.
