Selling The Milk

This seemed to be the best solution but then I felt that I should still provide a home for Mike, who had spent most of his life working for our family and was now old and almost penniless with no place else to go. So I bought more cows and started over again. Then came more problems.
By now it was late in spring which is the high production time of year and the dairy had too much milk and could not take on another producer. The best that I could do was to sell the milk to Thomas Dairies in Flourtown for five cents a quart. Soon after that the dairy began to fall behind in their payments for the milk. This got progressively worse for over a year until I refused to send them any more. Thomas Dairies soon went bankrupt after that and a year or so later, due to lawyer costs and court fees, I received about ten percent of the money due me. The new milk market was Witchwood Farms and they paid me much better and promptly. But that is another story that I will tell later.
