AG Groups Don’t Agree on Canadian Dairy Policy

U.S. farm organizations don’t all agree on the U.S.-Canadian dairy trade issue. Wisconsin Farmers Union’s Kara O’Conner tells Brownfield they would like to see supply management in the U.S. similar to what Canada has. “We think it is just good business sense to produce in relationship with what the market is demanding.” And, O’Conner says some U.S. milk processors have already asked their dairy farmers to cap production. “We’re seeing a really positive trend, especially led by cooperatives like Land O Lakes and Family Dairies U.S.A. to ask all of the farmers to pitch in and hold the line on their production in order to balance out the market and make sure that they are not producing more than they can process.”
