The concept is to keep your operation at a scale where you can sell all your milk directly to consumers and maintain control of your milk and its price.” [02:00] “The current [dairy] delivery system is largely obsolete, especially in these days when energy costs are so high. It deserves a re-think – we can make some improvements.” [05:00] “US Dairy farmers are extremely intelligent and efficient – they can produce a lot of milk for not much money and as a result the milk supply in this country is in a constant state of over supply.” [28:00] –Steve Judge on The Farm Report See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
