EU milk superlevy continues to ignore commercial realities

It seems almost unbelievable that the “decision makers” in Brussels will take their foot off the throat of the dairy industry next April.

While European milk production was frozen by Brussels, New Zealand quadrupled its milk production, and on average, its farmers enjoyed a 100% milk price increase.
