There was one here this spring. Processors and stores in the US have a real choke hold on dairy farmers. I recently read that dairy farm margines in the US have dipped below what they were in 2016 which were some of the lowest but national production was up by 2%. That puts the middle man in an extremely favourable position at the expense of the farmer. Supply management works for everyone. Our system in Canada that 99% of the world opposes recently called for a 3.5% quota cut to everyone. The system works. The state of Wisconsin alone produces more milk than all of Canada combined. That being said if every single dairy farm in this country just closed shop immediately it would do very little to raise the US milk price and any increase would only be short term because producers would do like they always have done when prices begin to recover,expand. Then there's again an over supply and the processor cuts your throat yet again. People can tarnish a system all they want that's served very well for decades to promote a nonsystem that is making stores and private processors rich at the expense of producers. Supply management works for all. People can complain about store prices but is the store price really fair if the producer can't pay their bills and looses the farm? There's huge money to be made off US milk at recent farm gate prices which is exactly why Canadian companies like Saputo have set up shop there. The customer gets a deal the store makes a profit the processor makes a killing the farmer gets the shaft,but nobody cares about farmers anymore right?

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
