Since the socialist writer of this article falled to admit the exact reason this milk company is going to go bankrupt, I take it probably going to go bankrupt because it will no longer get any more taxpayer subsidies.

If that is the case, I how no problem with this so-called business being plowed under.

without taxpayer subsidies one of two things will happen, one the free market will cause the escalation of food prices to soar uncontrolably or two, we would jepordise the nations food supply and would have to depend on imports that we have no control over.Go to the grocery store and compare organic grown vegetables, mostly grown here to the others that are mostly imported. The American farmer is subsidised to protect and insure our food supply is never interupted.

Please enlighten us....what is the exact reason this milk company is going bankrupt?

[Safetgiver]

But Smith Brothers, no milk monopoly with just 1 percent of the market, would have to pay subsidies to its competitors that exceed the dairy's yearly profit.......It's there in the article.

And what subsidies might those be? I see nothing to indicate this dairy gets one cent in subsidy monies, only that as a producer/bottler they are exempt from the usual USDA barbra striesand. Where do YOU get this info from? Or is it something you just pulled out of your butt?
