"Canadian quota system but it probably has given small dairies a better chance to survive"
In the short term YES In the long term NO
We have seen it in the cane sugar industry. First you start with a import tariff that artificially raises the price so that locals can compete. Now everyone wants in so you put in a quota system. So now farm A B C and D have quotas. Now farm A decides to sell out because his kids do not want to take over. His choice is to sell his quota to farm B C D or a outsider. The outsider has a hard time getting started because now he has to come up with 1 to 2 million extra dollars to get in. It is much easier for farm B C or D to buy him out because it is a expansion rather than a start from new operation.
So you have B buying A today and C buying D next week and B buying C in 20 years. Now C owns all 4 farms because a outsider had the added expense of the quota to contend with. So the only way to get started was to inherit your original farm.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
