The piece contrasts family reluctance, budget travel hops, and comic anecdotes about hearses and U Hauls, ending with a decision to proceed with Advent in traditional fashion.

Unproductive cows cost government billions in study findings
A study cited by Ohio State University extension dairy experts shows producing 100 pounds of milk costs 14.86 dollars with a 10,090 pound per cow herd, versus 11.93 dollars for a 16,000 pound per cow herd. With milk prices around 13.50 dollars per hundredweight, the lower-yield herd is likely unprofitable when all costs are included.

The fund targets a $4 million balance, with collections peaking around $225,000 monthly, and will be administered to reimburse farmers harmed by elevator bankruptcies. The measure awaits the governor’s signature.
