'We Have No Say': Dairy Farm Ordered to Dump 30,000 Liters of Milk Amid Soaring Dairy Prices

A dairy farm in Canada's southern Ontario region reports that it was given the order to dump 30,000 liters of milk after surpassing a designated quota regulated by the government. The farmers are only paid for the milk they make within the bounds of the quota. In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, a worker at the dairy farm claims that the farm produced around 260 gallons of milk. During the winter months, it generated slightly more milk than usual because of the consistency of the feed, which produced "quite a bit of milk." The worker goes on to add that this made the farm "go over our quota." He then goes on to show the milk being dumped "running away" as it is drained, which he shares "breaks [his] heart." Instead of being donated to a food bank, hospital, or homeless shelter, the milk is poured down the drain to satisfy some arbitrary quota while many people are struggling to afford milk and other grocery items. The worker goes on to say that milk in the region is worth $7 per liter: "$7 dollars for a little bit of milk." Learn More: https://original.newsbreak.com/@eden-...
