Driving through rolling hills is a visual treat.

Add the challenges of farming said hills, managing livestock and running a milking operation. These operations require a strong constitution, an appetite for risk and the ability to constantly improve the business.

I saw waste repurposed to compost, ongoing investments in labor saving tools and the use of software to smartly plant hilly ground, saving precious seed and fertilizer.

Making these operations go on a family scale is not for the faint of heart.

PS. Dairy prices are worth a look.
