Add “government induced famine” to the growing list of ways in which this country resembles the USSR more with every passing day.

Man, we could have had an awful lot of veal grown with that.
Too many Americans are absolutely allergic to free markets. If we eliminated government intervention, these supply and demand problems would work themselves out, and the result would be cheaper and more abundant food.
What about all those billboards about “ hungry “ people ???
My son, the doctor, said he’s never seen or heard a single report of someone in US being rushed to hospital because he/she was dying of starvation.
...An increase in milk production combined with sharply lower exports and declining sales of fresh milk have combined to depress milk prices paid to farmers from a 2014 high of about $28 per hundred pounds — about 9 gallons — to below $18 this spring.
Wood said he’s currently selling milk for less than it costs him to produce it — around $20 per hundred pounds...
I was wondering about that smell in the back yard.
“Dairy farmers spray milk at the European Parliament in Brussels”
...Farmers sprayed thousands of litres of fresh milk at the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday in protest at what they say are excessive milk quotas and prices below the cost of production...
Morally, this is a shame.

Is Obama out playing golf? I’m sure he’ll read it in the papers tomorrow!
Holy Cow! Someone will have the EPA on their case after all milk is a toxic substance according to the agency.
Sad. So many starving in the world. Such a waste.
Only some government statistician could say that food prices have “plummeted” this year. Anyone who buys groceries at conventional supermarkets will not agree with that, IMHO.
Meanwhile children in Haiti are starving......................

Government is just a word for the things we do together.
Nothing worse than a greedy Dairy farmer.
The neighbors got something? Well I got to have one and better and bigger.
Not one lick of sense with them..not one. A dairy farmer with any sense at all would cull the herd, keep the high producing ones, contract with canneries and grow sweet corn or peas or something for the land they do not for feed and ride out the market.
Instead, they whine and cry and run to the feds for help.
You want to know why Wisconsin wants Punky Paul Ryan to stay in? Its the ag industry there. They want to hire all those Mexicans to run the milking parlors.
My ex father in law milked 44. And we knew every cow there. What to give her for ground feed, when she was sick, and what she produced.
Go to a mega farm where they milk round the clock and you’d be shocked. They are nothing but numbers and last about 5 years and thats it. I watched as they shot 8 cows one time after they fell into the manure pit under the loafing shedd.
