Well what have smaller dairy farmers done to help themselves? The hand writing has been on the wall for years,consumers wanting different products like organic produced food but the reply from so called mainstream farmers has been to ridicule these people call them ignorant,stupid, etc etc.Only problem is the consumer controls who get their money and for what products. So when these small dairies threw in with the mega ones to produce the same product and the small dairies made no attempt to distinguish their product from the meg dairies the die was cast. The consumer has the final say no matter how good an argument the farmer or the big ag companies make and that is the way its supposed to work.All farmers that want to keep farming had better take a good lesson from this no one is forced to buy anyone's products.A lady I know of with less than 10 dairy cows is doing pretty well as she does a Milk Share agreement with consumers a family will buy a share of the cow and in return they get milk,cream etc from the cow the lady that has the farm does the work.Share owners get to come out and see their cow,watch the lady milk whatever.This is where the money is these days in farming it seems of course most 'real farmers' ridicule such operations but she'll be a diary farmers while a lot of people that ridicule will be EXfarmers.
