Sure, do away with the quota system.. Then you can get your farm much easier.

And stop shouting. I didn't say palm wasn't in the US. I'm commenting on the tactics used trying to protect the golden goose.


What difference would getting rid of the quota make?

New Zealand - - - - milk now costs more.
Germany - - - - milk now costs more.
In large swaths of the US - - - - milk costs more.

If quota disappeared tomorrow there isn't one average person in North America that could afford to start a viable dairy farm.
(Even without quota you would need something like 1.5 to 2 million AND the land - - - here that's another 4 to 5 million).

I don't think its possible to develop a farm from scratch today - - - - even 40 years ago some possibility - - - 50 and 60 years ago it was possible.



It's a scary process right now. To start a dairy from scratch.....around here right now $20,000 plus an acre for land, barns, house and everything else.....6 million easy. Then add in quota.... according to the accountants the magic number is 80kgs of quota 3.2 million.

Cash cropping.... $7,000 an acre is were the accountant says the land pays for itself. Everything over that has to be made up by other work...mostly off farm jobs.
