[QUOTE="James, post: 2557, member: 212"] Ha .... we run a very high risk operation. We start cracking lids in mid August, and start paying out more wages, sugar, varroa, trucks, fuel, compliance and sundries with absolutely no idea of what sort of a crop price or yield we are looking at. We run a very dodgy business. Compare that to my mate down the road who milks cows. He knows already that for next season he is looking at a $7.46/kg payout and is pretty confident about how much each cow will produce. No wonder he bought the top of the range boots at the field days today, and I settled for a new pair of crocs. Having said that, we both agreed that he would never want to crack lids, and I sure as heck have no ambition to be peed on by a cow in the cowshed. [/QUOTE]
