Jay,
you have to realize that most of the farmers have listened to the Gummit and
Colleges tell them to "get big or get out" for so long that it has almost
become a mantra for them (same for the grain farmers).
The few around here that are fighting the red tape and starting value added
lines with their milk are almost shunned by their neighbors as kooks or new
age hippies.
