quotas as in milk and poultry

[ag-boy]

yes it did the job after that meeting in Brooks [wilson report ] had 23 replys ! but most of them mist the point .
quota does unfairly increase or product .of chicken and milk !
take this quota paper for 50 milkcows as a sample they are paying over 2 million dollar for . in Alberta
this price is tacked on our milk here so consumer pay over 5 dollar for a jug of milk
here in Montana between 2.65 and 3.45 same jug !!!! no quotas
who can start milking at this price of quota !then have to buy cows and barn etc and hire labour .
same calculation is for the chicken quota all ia added to production cost and price is set by the board .
thanks for that many reply to this topic
this make AGR-VILLE .COM very interesting reading

Simple solution for you. Move to the U.S. where there is no quota, the US buck is low, your land here is high and go right at it and milk cows to your heart's content.

You will be doing the additional service of providing the US consumers with very affordable milk.

Just kidding. You make a good point about the start up cost - it cannot be done unless one is independently wealthy. The risk in milk production is no longer the marketplace - it lies in the system that was set up to protect producers FROM the market place. Kinda funny, really!
