Bullshit !!!!
Sorry bout that but the ignorance of the do good'ers appalls me. I =
am a dairy farmer so the subject is very close to me.

1. The "milk tax" has very seldom cost the tax payers a dime because the =
milk program runs on its own money.=20

Yes there are price supports that are in place but they have not =
been used in years and only when they do they are only a floor price to =
help farmers through the low price swings. The program actually helps =
the consumer by keeping as many dairy farmers producing milk as =
possible.

2. The "Federal Orders" was cut from 33 or so (not sure on that number) =
to 11 via appeal.=20

3. The price differential will be eliminated. This is a good thing. The =
way it was only made it possible for farmers to dairy where it wouldn't =
otherwise be feasible. "Constant" artificial supplementation of any =
price is not good.

You will have to wait to see the net results of the freedom to farm act =
for years to come. Farmers are being drove off their farms in swarms. =
Unfare trade policies are mostly to blame.

Someone led you astray on this one guys.

Thanks for letting me vent.=20
