@hamiltondw2 Have had this happen as well, its ridiculous. Then when confronting them they say Alex (previous owner that died 20+ years ago) gave them permission and said it was okay… 🤦♂️
@KeithWells6@tcuning@mathieu733 I think it really depends on the local area. I always hear bigger numbers down your way. A few more growers growing wheat around here now too
@tcuning@mathieu733 We have been paying around 5 cents a pound in the windrow last year and will most likely be the same this year. That’s for good quality straw.
@Clarklynd@Agridome@globeandmail No one that I know over there was happy about SM leaving. It is viewed as a negative, nothing changed other then a lower milk price and being more reliant on government subsidies
@Clarklynd@Agridome@globeandmail Have 4 family members dairy farming in🇨🇭 , they need subsidies to survive. Some get bigger cheques from the government than from milk production. Milk price is always lower than ours. None of our family have been able to increase the number of cows because of land constraints.
@lindmilk That’s terrible. I couldn’t imagine the heartache you guys must be feeling. Very sorry for your loss and we offer you our most sincere condolences
@SHittersum@LeeLaframboise@RDykxhoorn@lintfield Yeah that’s the main reason and limited availability of wheat straw locally. We also found the stalls to be a bit drier compared to wheat straw.
@LeeLaframboise@jtiltonflood@RDykxhoorn Don’t throw all of us out here in the same boat 😂
It’s probably close to 50/50 here but more cows in free stalls.
Lots of 1-3 robot free stalls have gone up to replace tie stalls the last few years around here
