Dairy's Enemies Get Sophisticated



Well now, look what showed up this week! I certainly hope Dairy Farmers of Canada and all their farmers are aware of THIS! The page below represents the output of some very sophisticated enemies, who just keep ramping it up. Unfortunately, in the current political climate, there are people in power who will look at this and re-act just as they have with the CWB. Certainly, it is someone with more power than farmers who have caused the Conservatives to try to destroy the Board.

Probably, a group with money and power similar to this bunch. After all, they usually have the most to gain. The beef is always about money and much of the stuff seen below is seriously twisted. Observers outside the industry will not know this, without some serious educational activity. And even that may not been seen objectively. -CG

Canada holds on to world record for high dairy prices!




When it comes to high prices, the Canadian dairy industry wins the international gold medal. But it's a hollow victory. Artificially high prices mean the industry is losing market share in Canada as consumers cut back on dairy and look for more affordable alternatives. International studies show that Canadian dairy prices are among the highest in the world.

Canadian dairy prices have soared 53 per cent since 1994. That's nearly twice the rate of inflation. At the same time that prices skyrocketed, the cost of producing milk fell by 3.8 per cent. This cost of production formula was created by the dairy industry and has a built-in profit for producers. * To view a bigger version of a chart, click on the chart.
