Hi Everyone,
This $75,000 sounds good but what is the tax situation for this
payment, and where is the milk price going to go for the next few years?
Income Equalization Scheme may be the best way for me to actually
hold on to the payment and guarantee an income that will cover costs until
the Nth Americans and the Europeans reduce their subsidies,(if they do).
Debt reduction may be an option too.
In reply to Kate's post, I feel I need good business skills, a
crystal ball to forsee the future prices, the ability to produce very low
cost milk, guaranteed water delivery and very accurate milk price
forecasting. The major support to me would be holding the rest of the world
to their GATT agreements.
regards, Peter.
Peter Gault.
