@miket136 Why are people replying to this Russian bot @mike136. He is paid to post this crap. Right Sergei! And don’t forget to bring home some kielbasa for Svetlana.

Here in BC, there’s a lot of good that goes into every glass of milk. Tested to high standards and produced close to home. That's goodness you can always count on.

86% of cattle feed globally is inedible to humans:

Grass (we can't digest cellulose)

Crop residues (corn stalks, wheat chaff)

Food processing byproducts (soy meal after oil extraction, brewers grains)

Silage from permanent pasture

Only 14% is human-edible grain - and most of that is grain rejected for human consumption due to quality.

Cattle aren't "stealing food from humans."

Cattle are converting resources we cannot use into the most bioavailable nutrition on the planet.

This is miraculous technology disguised as a cow.

And this is why we will continue to fight to keep Supply Management. She is a couple miles south of me across the border in the US. I am told that break even is around $17 cwt. Do we want this for our rural economies here in Canada?

Today is Acadian Remembrance Day. Between 1755 and 1763, approximately 10,000 Acadians were deported from modern-day Nova Scotia by the British authorities. Thousands died of disease or starvation in the squalid conditions on board ship.

I remember being in the milking parlour listening to anti war songs on the radio during the late 1960’s while my American cousins were sent to Vietnam. This song is as relevant today Your American Flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore. John Prine

LEST WE FORGET The front page of the Butter-Fat magazine lists employees of the Fraser Valley Milk Producers' Association who served during WW2. Several never returned. George Okulitch and Neil Gray returned from overseas service. Both became General Managers of the FVMPA.

LEST WE FORGET Three British Soldiers using Pacific Evaporated Milk in their coffee some where on the European Front in 1944. Pacific Evaporated Milk was produced by Fraser Valley dairy farmers and processed in the FVMPA Abbotsford Delair Milk Plant

[BC Dairy History @bcdhs]

LEST WE FORGET. Many employees in the BC Dairy Industry left to join the war effort. Many did not return. Here are the names of a few FVMPA employees who never returned. Joseph A. Culpepper, Captain James Watson, Private Walter Reimer, P.O Alec McKenzie.
