Your cows being able to eat grass outside, i'm sure your milk is better than most. I find it sad that all the milk is however mixed togheter and heated, it kills all the complexity and the flavors that come from your terroir. I have tons of respect for milk farmers, I think we should value their specifity and help them transition towards à bit more of à proximity model. I think we dont realize the importance of producing locally to be resilient and that we should value more the work of farmers. What do you think about it Habshistory? Im curious to hear your take on this as i know it's a complex question.

not sure if it's the case but if this "proximity model" means a more sustainable and eco-friendly type of farming, as opposed to large-scale industrial farming, then it's something we definitely should encourage imho.

good point...

Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.

judging from their Twitter account the golden knights are very proud of their newest acquisition, they'll probably hang a banner in the rafters to commemorate it as well.

yes.

but it means also a transition from the traditional model of "gestion de l'offre" in Québec. And it means big changes for farmers that are already overworked and financially constrained. So that's why it's a complex question. How do we convince and support farmers to transition to that model, and how to prepare the general society to make big changes in their consumption habits, so that agriculture becomes truly sustainable.

nichouche!

ok, i'll try this argument next time I have this conversation with a farmer.

yeah the answer might not be all that obvious, but the government financially helping out smaller farmers to make sure they thrive could be a start I guess.

The major issue in farming is that it is more viable to sell off their farm land in parts to devolpers than to an aspiring farmer

McDonut having a good game

I can just invision the next market report. "We're down huge sales in the teenage demographic out of no where, and no indication why"?......

Man, good question. I could spend hours on this one.
Personally, it all comes down to supply management. It's great in that it fills the demand without greatly over producing and wasting resources, all the while helping guarantee a sustainable price to the farmers. But, and I may not be in the majority on this one...., but the downside being trying to create a system that incorporates and covers all fairly usually means you drag along dead wood. Everything has to be the same, which doesn't allow for new marketing ideas, new products etc very easily, if at all. So things like grass fed standards, a2 milk, high component milk etc can only be done on a very small scale, which is fine, just that many grocery chains now adays want companies and products that can supply them across the country. So beyond milk, local food supply needs help and a way to get to the general consumer in a consistent manner. Did you know 90% of groceries in canada go through 5 main food retailers. They have a scary hold on food pricing and contracts, and can be horrible to deal with. Ag canada is starting to push back with demands on grocery code of conducts to the government, which is what happened in many parts of Europe about 4 maybe 5 years ago.

Avs ready from the start. Real chance to put TB on the ropes for this game on this PP

Helluva lot easier, too. farming is hard (frank)ing work. even with all the improvements in machinery and equipment.

it would kinda suck for the "entertainment" factor, but an unanticipated sweep would be awesome.

Very interesting, thanks. I'll read more on retailers and their impact on this question, because you make me realize they are a big player in the problem. They play a big role too in single use plastic and food wastes. We need alternative models to those big-scale grocery conglomerates.
