Doing out my profit monitor for 2021 today. I had been half fearing that I'd of blown my labour budget, given I've employed 3 lads part time for most the year (they basically did half the milkings between them, alongside a dozen or so hours a month general labour), however total amount came to under 20k, including all taxes etc that I had to cover. Lets say I skimmed and did all that work myself, and drew down the 20k instead, I'd be left with at best 12k in my pocket, and I'd be a hell of alot more stressed out and had to sacrifice alot more off farm stuff to rush home early to milk etc. So yep, moving forwards I'm absolutely never going to sacrifice that.
