Dave,
It's going to take a change of attitude "the US doesn't need its own
farmers, we will just import our food" (quote from AlGore, presidential
candidate) to the new reality that oil and shipping will be expensive.
Sure, there are young people willing to dairy but why work hard only to
have the market manipulated into over-supply by an unbridled monopoly?
Our co-ops have let us down. They were supposed to use Capper-Volstad to
benefit the farmers.
