Randy, I'm not at all involved in dairy up here. But I really appreciate that you took the time to look at these trade issues from the farmers perspective in Canada. The situation is very complex and personal feelings often get pulled in turning the trade issues into an emotinal argument. Thank you for your rational thoughts.
My crop has its own special problems due to industry wide oversuply and poor management... growers and handlers. It hard, but the farmer often gets blamed for making improvements Just to become more cost effective and consequently increasing yield thus adding to the problem ... a vicious circle at times.
