Earlier, I said that our producers deserved some stability and predictability. It's expensive to buy and operate a farm, not to mention the farm equipment. These people are often heavily in debt. How do you expect them to make more investments and hope one day to pass their farm on to the next generation when they never know when an agreement might come along and saw their legs off? Stability and predictability are important for these people to become increasingly financially independent.
When I read about the American model, I got chills. I thought, this doesn't make sense. People have been made to disappear. How can you control the quality of a product when everything comes from the same person? We know very well that there are a lot of problems with milk produced in the United States for this very reason.
