I agree with Bruce 100 percent.....I'm sure Bruce will Remember the butter mountain the milk board had years ago and dumping skim milk powder on the world market for next to nothing. As dairy farmers, we at that time, paid storage on non perishable dairy products and took a cut in price for industrial grade milk to offset the losses from skim milk powder sold internationally.
