Dairy farming is dying. After 40 years, I'm done.

7. First of all, I feel badly for dairy farmers.

Someone on D.U. posted an article about dairy farmers in Lancaster County, Pa., losing their market for raw milk. The market was a milk processor based in Texas. They said there was no longer an outlet for milk because people are buying less. That was in May of this year.

Mr. Goodman mentions oversupply and plummeting prices. Plummeting prices are a response to oversupply. That raises the question -- if there should be subsidies and farm insurance programs to support an industry that is no longer viable.

Same question for coal miners, electric cars (why are we, in effect, giving tax breaks to rich people who can afford a $75K Tesla? Or the same for flood insurance where we subsidize insurance for beach property that gets flooded time and again?

There is no way I can read Mr. Goodman's article and not feel badly for him. There needs to be better ways to provide for people whose way of life disappears.
