Government moves forward on Trade again!


Farmers would be well advised to pay attention to the comments attached to the article below. There are over 300 today alone. It is interesting how much "inaccurate" detail some have provided. It might make you wonder if someone has hired people to pound away ...... hmmmmm.

Since there are powerful forces looking for the demise of supply management, I wouldn't put anything past anyone.-CG

A New Website about Your Milk






A new web site titled : Stand up for Your Milk has recently been launched to counter the anti- supply management doggerel that has abounded.

It is chock full of good stuff and an ideal source for up to date info for the media (at least I hope so) as well as the public and farmers.

Anyone who finds negative information should at the very least pass along this website and help spread the word.

In fact a whole infrastructure of dairy farm tweeters is out there and they should be pushing this link around. Maybe someone has to remind them to do it.

It is pretty important to populate a site like this with fresh, up to date material responding to the latest attacks. So far so good but the industry needs to ensure they are not viewed as a sitting duck.

Recently, I saw an email that gleefully proclaimed: "supply management has mostly given up trying to respond".

I sincerely hope that is not true.- cg
