Good theory, but remember, the farmer's got delivery schedules to meet. We're not talking about the independent farmer with his 10 cows. We're talking about the huge dairy farms with hundreds of cows that run on tight schedules. They interface with suppliers, shippers, etc. and they have to meet those schedules. They can't just shift things by an hour.
