Dairy is complicated, to say the least. And to compare milk prices in Canada with the prices paid to farmers is further complicated by the fact we measured our milk by liquid volume in metric, and you fellas state side measure your milk by hundred weight. Then gator in the exchange on the dollar, and you can get dizzy quick. So here in Canadian $ is what dairy farmers were paid per hundred litres for milk of average composition, $71.00 per hundred litres. Last month as close as I can figure, farmers in MI were paid, for comparison sake , in Canadian $ , and per hundred litres , $37.00. Little more than half. I know it cost just the same to feed a cow in Can. as it does in US, so I understand exactly how hard the farmers in MI are being squeezed. The problem I have is the prices you guys pay for milk in the store is almost the same as the price here in Canada. Processors and retailers are making big money on the farmers back. I think once the BTO farms get large enough and vertically integrated with the processing industry, the smaller farms will have nowhere to sell their milk. Then watch the retail price go up
