Despite milk prices paid to dairy farmers making recent gains from last year’s crisis levels, David Fitch feels not enough progress has been made to feel confident in the future.
“We lost over $110,000 last year,” said Fitch, who owns a 400-acre dairy farm in West Winfield with 300 head of cattle. “We’ll stay until the end of April; whether we sell out or not, right now, it’s 50-50.”
