Don’t let the Coops,  Government officials, or anyone else for that matter tell you that you don’t deserve it. They have kept us broke for far to long now, don’t except a plan that does not factor in our cost of production, come on, you could ask this question to 5^th and 6^th graders and they would tell you that you need cost of production to produce a product. Why then is it so hard for our official and coops to see this. Maybe it is time to go back to school people. If the coop and milk companies really cared about the farmers and their members why would they not have endorsed the bill that supports nothing less than cost of production. Why would we vote in a plan that uses the same old broken pricing system that is causing the problem. DEMAND COST OF PRODUCTION STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. We are all busting our backs to feed Americans SAFE QUALITY Food. WE DESIRVE NOTHING LESS.

Read all the proposals that are out there and then reread S1645 this is the only one with cost of production. Lets put the money into the farmers pocket for a change not the processors and handlers. The consumers will not suffer with this plan either. WE HAVE ONLY ONE SHOT AT THIS: We need to make sure we get what is rightfully ours “Cost of Production” the only bill out there that really thinks about the farmers needs is S1645. We all know that if we don’t get cost of production in the first try how many years will it take to revisit the farm bill to change it 10 years 20 years or longer. Here we go again who will survive then. The old saying look to the left, look to right, one of you won’t be here next year well if we don’t get bill S1645 passed next year none of us will be in business. Support S1645 and we all can be here making a living and raising the next generation of dairy farmers. I realize that we have been labeled as the dumb farmers, but lets show them we are far from dumb that we are just as smart as the wall street tycoons and we will not settle for anything less than COST OF PRODUCTION - SUPPORT S1645. If you have any questions or comments please call 315-822-5093 or email at fitchrnd@yahoo.com.  If you need a copy of the bill please let me know.

Thank you
