Dairy Supply Management

Is not popular with everyone. (And as I watch the list of folks who are in favor of Foundation for the Future fill up with processors like Land O Lakes, folks who make a lot of money by keeping farm prices low, I like it less and less.)

Here is a website for farmers who are against the supply management plan.

Stop Supply Management

Foundation for the Future 2

The more I read about this program the less I understand it and emphatically the less I like it. Seems as if Kozak is assuming there is a consensus among farmers that this is a good program. That is very much not the case. Have yet to meet a singe well-informed farmer who wants any part of it.

Still no on/off switches on cows, to help us through the supply management periods, when we either produce less milk, or just don't get paid for it.....(dang it, if there were on/off switches weekends would be a lot happier around here!) And if folks just kill cows when supply management kicks in...well, I'll bet that will go over big with beef growers, not to mention how the cows will feel about it.

And I flat love the idea of sending money to the Treasury.
