SHEEP 43. Jew Choice and Prime Are My Farmers an Endangered Species? If you don't Join RCMA, the family farm may well go the way of the dinosaurs. The Northeast loses 50 dairy farms a week. That’s 50 farmers and their families who have decided they can no longer make a living dairying. That’s 50 more dispersals and equipment auctions. That’s 50 of your neighbors, 50 people like you. If this continues it won’t be long before the Northeast will have to pay dearly to ship milk in from other parts of the country. The family farm will be nothing more than a pleasant memory, a picture in an old magazine. Stand Up future of How will dairy farmers earn enough money to stay in business and stop the decline of our agricultural economy? Federal farm policy offers little more than additional price cuts Right now, only one group has a realistic plan to establish fair prices for all dairy farmers: RCMA Dairy farmers working together can secure the future of dairying in the region Want to see your son or daughter have the chance to farm?
