"There's no danger of milk going away if subsidies are ended. And I believe they should be ended so as to get the dairy industry back in line with the free market forces of supply and demand."
Dairy subsidies are the financial backbone of the huge corporate dairy farms. As others have stated, the family dairy farmer is getting to be a thing of the past. The family dairy farmer was the reason for the creation of the dairy subsidies - not mega-dairy farms owned by huge corporations.
Prices would most likely go down if the subsidies were dropped. This is the reason that huge amounts of money are being spent to lobby for the continuation of subsidies.
