Bruce, very good explanation of the Canadian dairy supply management system. My knowledge is dated as my brother quick milking in 2005 and sold his quota. On the other hand my cousins in eastern Ontario just build a new dairy barn with automatic everything including one milking robot. Is there still a limit of 500 milking cows in the Canadian system?
This past October we were touring in southern Idaho and there was an antique machinery museum by the interchange of I84 and US93 near Twin Falls Idaho. We stopped in and there were a couple retired farmers there preparing everything for winter. One fellow was telling me that there were now more milking cows in the local county than people as there were two large dairy farms that were milking 5000 plus cows each and all the small dairy farms were gone. We did not see these farms as they were north of US93 and we were going east to Idaho Falls. I just can't imagine how many tons of feed 5000 cows would consume in a day and how many gallons of liquid manure would be produced.
