"The farmers just want everybody to play by the same set of rules that they have to play by," says Mike Marsh, president of the Western United Dairymen, a large industry group in California.

No they don't. Otherwise they would be anxious and eager to get rid of Depression era laws. That would also allow one set of rules for everyone...

The depression has been gone 70 years, Mr. Marsh.
No one bothered to tell you?

The idea that farmers ae anything other than regular businesses is an assinine american meme.

Good, all farmers can hereby stop paying into the pool that keeps our milk prices artifically high.

BTW, aren't milk price supports the reason Jumpin Jim Jeffords originally sold us out?

But what would we do if the milk supply suddenly became unsteady? Another depression I'm sure....lol The only ones who need milk regularly for certain are baby calfs. The rest of us can live without it from time to time and be no worse for the wear.

Hein Hettinga was once a simple dairy farmer who sold raw milk from his farm in Chino, Calif.

Thank you Mr.Hettinga for your vision and business sense.

More power to Mr Hettinga. Competition is a good thing. The consumer benefits.
