Feds announce dairy subsidies


 

The federal government is giving $500,000 to Dairy Farmers of Canada for its proAction quality assurance program and $3.5 million over five years to bolster DairyTrace.


Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay announced the subsidies during the annual meeting of Dairy Farmers of Canada in Newfoundland.


So much for the dairy industry claims that it takes no government subsidies because supply management is all it needs.d
