Driving on the M8 in Glasgow Scotland on a Sunday afternoon.. It's rare to see sunny skies over Glasgow in October ! Heading home to to the afternoon milking. On the radio Wisconsin dairy farmers talk about their dislike for massive mega dairy farms (5000+ cows) A 8,1000 cow dairy is planned for Southern England which if it gets planning permission will be the biggest dairy farm in Europe

@crumyards M77 opened 5 years ago (Fenwick to Glasgow) Much quicker and safer than the old road The quota for that place must be worth a fortune !

Wisconsin, neighboring state. We milk about 210 and I feel like we're getting run over. We lost about 70% of our dairies in our area since I started here 24 years ago. Problem here is nobody wants to work long hours every day so the small ones disappear.

@friesiancowboy Couldn't agree with you more.

@Zeamus634 it has its ups and its downs but im more agaisnt it as it will put us small farmers (200 or less cows) out of business.
