Subject: My biggest issue with supply management


sw ontario
Everything about supply management works as best as possible in the feather and dairy business, biggest issue I see is quota values--When dairy quota is trading for $30k + or - for a piece of paper too milk 1 cow and is it something like $300 CAD a laying hen there needs to be a way for new entrants too get in--hard for anybody to buy a farm,cows,ect. and then pay $6 mil. too milk 200 cows --- It would not be popular but what if dairy quota prices still flaoted but when you exit the business they cap your quota payment at say $5k and quota goes back too the board......or if you sell farm as on going business then quota would stay with it......Every dairy guy deserves every nickel he gets for milking but it upsets many when farms around Mitchell/Stratford sell for $20k an acre and only quota guys can pay that much.... Dairy guys are carrying a lot of debt per cow in Ontario ,something like 10x what US debt per cow is because of quota cost.....for SM guys you have a good system,consumer prices are fair ,now is there any better way too handle quota values? Or just supply and demand -2 dairy's here are expanding
