Reason for Gypsy day?
I live in NZ but I admit I don't really understand the reasoning behind Gypsy day. I'm not referring to the reasons for a single day, nor for share milking nor the precise timing. But rather why there's so much movement. There may be good reasons for short term contracts, and there will always be some movement due to better offers, disagreements etc. But it seems in the normal case it would be easier for all to stay on the same farm. Are there legal reasons or farm recovery reasons or something like that?
