You want to start dairy farming in BC and don't have family already in the industry?- have about $10mil to start with and then be on a quota wait list for a good 5 years and you might get somewhere. I have to finish a paper and don't have time to actually discuss what quota really is and why it impacts dairy farmers but the BC Milk Board website is a good place to start and I have the Quota Policy of 2014 saved if anyone wants to read it.
And no, I don't want subsidies from the government either.
