Why does the Federal government even price milk at all? That is not the ineetdnd role of government as outlined in our founding documents. Why can’t I say to my surrounding processors, “Hey, I produce six tons of milk a day, 110,000 SCC, 4.1% BF, 3.2% Pro and I want $28.00 for it.” Isn’t that free market? Why can’t farmers have a shake at the free market? The only role the government was ever supposed to have in the private sector is making sure interstate commerce remains open. The federal government should be protecting our domestic markets from the intrusion of foreign products, which they are not. I can’t help but think of Ronald Reagan saying, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to the problem; government is the problem.” I think we as an industry are foolish if we look to the government or a politician to solve our problems.
