Its good economics! Why drill for 100 buck a barrel oil, when you can drill for 130 buck oill?Or is it that much.a cousin of mine once owned a dairy farm, they worked thier off, and even needed to pour milk out because of the market price. So they gave it up, as did a lot of farmers. What is the price of milk today? But the good news is soon, maybe milk will be imported from nafta, that surly will bring the medical costs way up.
