More Cows and More Milk Mean More Headaches - NYTimes.com

More Cows and More Milk Mean More Headaches - NYTimes.com

Genetic technology that enables farmers to produce more cows than bulls contributes to ever more supply than demand for milk.

Our politicians would serve us better by understanding that we have an oversupply problem...simply too much milk. Rather than snarking around looking for evil scapegoat milk processors and continuing to subsidize excess production, they would serve the dairy industry better by enabling dairy farmers to convert to other forms of agriculture.
