Dairy is complicated, to say the least. And to compare milk prices in Canada with the prices paid to farmers is further complicated by the fact we measured our milk by liquid volume in metric, and you fellas state side measure your milk by hundred weight. Then gator in the exchange on the dollar, and you can get dizzy quick. So here in Canadian $ is what dairy farmers were paid per hundred litres for milk of average composition, $71.00 per hundred litres.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant.
