Why would we want to produce milk for less than cost of production like the australian and americans do? The only one who wins is the processors. The cost of milk is no cheaper in the stores in USA . Canada does not have cheap mexican labor available like the americans do. Supply management is the envy of the world because it works. Farmers are not a cartel like the author stipulates.  Deregulation did not work in australia or Europe. Perhaps it is time for the americans to control their own supply so their farmers can make a fair living rather than dumping milk on the export market for a loss.
