    Both a liter of gas/diesel and milk are sometimes about the same price.
    Bottled water at Subway is about $2.60 ...its not a liter either.

    Thank you Dairy Farmer. I know Dairying has become easier than the old methods but you deserve every bit of your pay.

I suspect the Hutterites will own a far bigger percentage of the other supply managed products - the poultry side - than they do dairy. They also seem to be about the only people still in hogs other than the Corporate operations.
      Visited a dairy in the US recently that will soon be milking about 40000 cows TWICE per day. Blew my mind and i can see why Canadian dairy farmers are so protective of their system. Don't think they will win however.

        Dairy price study finds Canadians don't pay more for milk

        The study, published last week by a new Ottawa-based trade firm called Export Action Global, found Canadians don’t pay more for comparable dairy products than consumers in countries with deregulated dairy industries.

        “Milk prices in Canada are lower on average than in Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. Canadians currently pay less on average than Americans for butter, yogurt, and cheese,” reads the report. https://www.realagriculture.com/2018/04/dairy-price-study-finds-canadians-dont-pay-more-for-milk

            As you know dairy farmers in the US receive large subsidies. In spite of this dairy farmers in the US face bankruptcy and devastation.

              The Dairy Farmers Are in Crisis—and It Could Change Wisconsin Forever

              There was a time when the soft glow of barn lights dotted Wisconsin’s rural landscape like stars in a constellation, connecting families who labored into the night milking cows, feeding calves and finishing chores.

              Hundreds of those barns are dark now, the cows gone, the hum of milking machines silenced.

              "All of our neighbors are done," said Sue Spaulding, a dairy farmer near Shell Lake, in Washburn County.

                  Not sure why you keep posting a link to an article about the study rather than the actual study which I posted? I even hot linked the correct link.
