Rosemary,

Hang in there! We had the dreaded D Notice from April 'til last week on

our

dairy and y'stock farm – located on three sites!!! Watching pedigree,

fresh

calved heifers go dry after calving away from home has done nothing for my
mental state. But.... we are still here. Eventually I swallowed my pride
and applied to the RABI http://www.rabi.org.uk/Promote.html and the
Addington fund

http://www.arthurrankcentre.org.uk/article.php?sid=22&mode=thread&order=0&th

old=0 and I am most grateful for the help they have given me.

Also the Rural Stress network has been most supportive.
http://www.ruralnet.org.uk/~rusin/

I wouldn't say we are out of the woods by a long chalk but these three
organisations, in addition to Smartgroups have been a life saver. (I

don't

think I mean that literally!) We need better farmgate prices to solve

all

our problems!

David
