My wife is saying the same thing… she is a wholesale/retail store manager…accounts receivable are creeping up.
Was chatting with a mechanic friend of mine this morning. Asked how business was. He's always busy, but he said cash flow is getting tricky. Customers that used to pay immediately are now paying at 30 days. Guys that were 30 days are now 60-90 days.

So here's the dairy diary. I recently returned from New England where I delved into the differences of the dairy industry in both countries and how it affects dairy farmers. 1/ Consumers in both countries pay virtually the same price for milk- pennies per liter either way.1/

Will our electronic devices not switch time automatically if we are not taking part in the time change? Or will they switch and we will need to change it back?
It's almost time to fall back! ⏰ Most of the U.S. will turn clocks back one hour when daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 1. But much of western Canada, including British Columbia and Alberta, won't be falling back after adopting laws to stay on permanent daylight saving time year-round. This will create some interesting time differences across the U.S.-Canada border. Swipe to see how time zones across the U.S. and Canada will change!

I’m figuring on a $30/ac increase in production costs on my farm for next years crop if values stay where they’re at I guess I’ll just increase what I charge for my products like everyone else doesβ€¦πŸ˜‰ But in all seriousness take the time to know your break evens on every crop!
