I don't think there is a dairy farmer around that would like the government to come in and say you can only produce 500 gallons of milk a year. You will send us the 500 gallons but we will only pay you for 425 gallons now at an inflated fixed price. IF the rest sells, we will settle up with you, but if it does'nt we will keep it as surplus. Now when the farmer makes 600 gallons he is out of luck because he can't market it himself. A lot of the producers up there have the capabilities of making a lot more syrup than the gov. lets them. Even the equipment manufacturers are feeling the pinch from this system as no one can grow and expand. I don't believe the best interest of the producer is being served. I agree that the dairy farmer is getting a major short end of the stick but I would not want to see the quota system for them either.
