Today was a historic day.

We moved here to our farm nearly 20 years ago from PA.  When we were getting ready to move we needed to find a market for our milk.  We decided to sell our milk to Dairylea Cooperative Inc.  So for the past nearly 20 years a milk truck has come every other day and picked up our milk for Dairylea Cooperative.  A few years ago our neighbor started sending his milk to  Agri-Mark Cooperative.  We had talked a few times about what he was getting paid for his milk and it seemed he was usually getting a little better price for his milk.  So, when the Agri-Mark inspector stopped in and asked if I would be interested in taking a look at what they could do for me I said I would like to do that.  Long story short, they were able to offer us a better price for our milk than what we were currently getting so we decided to switch to shipping our milk to Agri-Mark.  It took a little while to jump through all the hoops to get out of our contract with Dairylea but as of today we are officially producing for milk for Agri-Mark Cooperative.  So today was historic in the fact that we are now shipping our milk to a new cooperative after being with Dairylea for almost 20 years.
