Here here Cass!

I agree. The milk price is quite low considering what it costs to make sure

that the " cleanliness " of the milk is sustained. The farmer isn't the source

of the costs, the processor is. I won't get into a whole lot of discussion

either, but it brings me back to the whole topic of specialization. Milk can

be bought and shipped from other countries, probably alot cheaper. You can

specialize in other products instead, so that the US doesn't produce milk.

That will work well until the US bombs a friend of the milk-producing country,

and the supply gets cut off. That is why there is such a diverse supply of

goods in the US and Canada - no one wants to have to depend on another country

to supply a good that may or may not be safe. The price that it is being sold

at should go back to the source. The farmer needs the income!
