Tuesday, April 30, 2013

by SUSAN MANN

The quota committee for the five Eastern Canadian provinces in the milk-pooling agreement is reviewing all quota transfer policies involving quota that isn’t sold on the exchange, delegates to the Dairy Farmers of Ontario recent spring policy conference were told.

The five provinces that are part of the agreement on Eastern Canadian milk pooling, known as P5, are: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. They share revenue from industrial and fluid milk markets and work cooperatively on other matters of mutual interest.

The review includes the interrelationship between the various policies, according to a report released at the conference held in March. Part of the discussion is focused on Ontario dairy farmers’ ability to acquire a second dairy farm and operate a multiple farm operation. The other P5 provinces only allow their dairy farmers to operate one farm. BF
