PylmanBankruptcyAuction

31 JULY 2009 -- BUCKEYE, AZ: Tony Martin (wearing hat) (CQ) from Lemoore, CA, and Joe Martin (CQ) (NO RELATION) from Hanford, CA, walk through the corrals and check out the livestock at the auction on the former Pylman Dairy Farm in Buckeye. The auction was handled by Overland Stockyards from Hanford, CA. The Arizona dairy industry is struggling to survive the worst milk economy some have ever seen. Due to the global recession, overseas demand for Arizona dairy products has plummeted, forcing prices down while production costs have stayed stable or gone up. For every $1 dairymen earn from milk sales, it cost them $1.50 to produce the milk. Photo by Jack Kurtz
