• The post you are reporting:
   
  This was suggested to me recently:
  "As you drive around the area look out for dairy herds".
  You will not see many at all. This is the result of a supermarket driven policy to sell milk etc as loss leaders to get us in and buy lots of other things we don't want.
  Poor farmers? You don't see many true farmers anymore either. The family farm is almost impossible to sustain with competition from conglomerates run by pension funds etc which have swallowed up farm after farm, sacked workers and replaced them with contractors.
  It is, of course, highly efficient free marketeering and we should all applaud it as it means our milk is cheap.
