Government making a Dairy Farm in Southern Ontario dump 30,000 litres of milk because they have gone over quota.
Can’t donate it to a food bank, or to a hospital, or to a homeless shelter.
Right down the drain so we can pay $7 per litre for milk.
VIDEO AT LINK..................
I’m American, gonna have to convert that to gallons before I care /sarc
Government is akin to management by committee. Committees are incompetence to the extreme.
Our government does a similar thing.
My neighbor grew peanuts for several years.
They would get a check from the government to plow them under.......................
Government is the greediest, most corrupt and murderous force on Earth.
It’s not even debatable.
Nazi Government will Nazi.
Hmm, I know a dairy farmer in Alberta, I’ll have to ask him if he does this kind of thing too.
This story reminded me of those newsreels of milk being dumped to bolster the prices... from back in the Great Depression period...
I was curious about his claimed price of Canadian milk being $7/liter, so I googled and came up with this:
https://www.globalproductprices.com/Canada/milk_prices/
As a further exercise, I clicked on eggs in the lefthand column, whereby it appears that Canadians pay about half what we are now paying for eggs.
Are the prices at your link in $/gallon or $/liter? It doesn’t say.
Yes, it says liter.
can’t they make ice cream out of it?
that’s what i would do. then people could buy it, let it melt and have milk.
Without government inspection it is worthless...............
I live in suburban Toronto. Currently getting micro filtered milk a bit below $5 Canadian which is about $3.50 US per 4 litres which is about a bit under a gallon. Cheapest eggs seem to be a bit above $3 a dozen. No doubt prices can be higher and a by a lot elsewhere but that’s what I’m paying here for now. $7 a litre would translate to $30 a gallon or more.
Without government inspection it is worthless...............
says the government.
if i wanted to buy it from the farmer... should the government be allowed to dissuade me?
Click the ‘counties’ button in the header and it will tell you.
Thanks. That fits with what I thought—and makes me wonder if this video is a put-on, somehow.
My son practically begged the Dairy Dept worker at our local grocery to sell him some eggnog product which was going to ‘expire’ the next day. He had just taken it from the display cooler, loaded it onto a cart and was headed to the dumpster. He wouldn’t consider my son’s request.
Had he arrived five minutes earlier, there would have been a happy customer and a bit of profit for the store. He would have taken the entire load, put it in the freezer at home, and thawed it out for later use one carton at a time.
Too much of this stuff goes on in the name of consumer safety and product liability, IMHO.
Milk powder?
