This guy is full of BS! First of all you can go buy 4 litres of milk for less than $7.00. He is lying to you right off the start. Second, he came to Canada by choice, knowing fully well that there was a supply management system in place in Canada. If he didnt like it , why did he choose to come here and buy into the system? I can tell you why, because he couldnt milk cows in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands they are about to reduce the number of cows a farmer can keep, in an attempt to reduce methane emissions. And I think that the most important point here is that this man is the architect of his own misfortune. He needs to match his production to his quota allotment. He knows how much milk he needs to produce to fill his quota, so why doesnt cut back on the number of cows he is milking and manage his supply? Or simply adjust his ration so his cows dont produce more milk than his farm has quota for. There isnt anyone holding a gun to his head making him be a dairy producer. And no one is forcing him to stay in Canada, he moved here, and knew the system was already operating before he was born. Perhaps he should strike off for another country and try his luck there ? Did he mention that he is getting paid .95 cents per litre for his milk ?? Or that his farm land is valued at $20,000.00 per acre? Or that his milk quota for his 250 cows would sell for 6 million dollars? His farm can produce 188,000/ litres of milk in a 30 day month. So the monthly milk check would be right around $178,000.00 . He didnt mention any of these facts because he wants you to think hes being miss treated, and hard done by because he cant manage his farm within the rules he agreed to produce milk in when he move to Ontario, Canada from Europe. Dont feel sorry for him, hes a greedy guy, and wants to write his own rules.
