Dave, the US has been a milk deficit country since the 1980's so the CWT
program never did make any sense. Why decrease the US herd when the US
herd wasn't producing up to US domestic dairy product needs? To make room
for more foreign imports?

Maybe or maybe not. Right there in IN you have mega-dairies which are
apparently doing quite well.
I can't see investing money in a swing parlor, getting it paid for and
achieving a respectable rate of ROI by the time I'd reach age 65. The
processors are going to find some way to drive the current high prices
down, or spraWLmart will take control of the supermarket sector and do
their typical screw the supplier act.
