I've heard of stories of farmers pouring milk down drains etc. for Supply Management Quotas and to constrain the supply, etc. Don't know if it's hyperbole.
Milk isn't the problem, it's the price of cheese and the stranglehold the supply management rules place on cheese imports. Canada probably has some of the worst cheese selection and prices of developed nations because of the protectionist dairy market. Only a small percentage of cheese can be imported every year from Europe and then it's priced incredibly highly.
