Direct Selling of Milk to Consumers



In this blog, I will be addressing only the first 2:10 of this video.
This man first comes across as being a little bit strange, but the things he says are actually quite interesting. He talks about what would happen to farmers if they could sell milk directly to the consumer. Initially, it looks like a good idea, but if taken under a microscope, there are flaws in the plan. The regulation that farmers are under right now are very intense and specific, and the addition of a whole other branch of farming would just increase the amount of time the government would have to spend checking all of the bottling equipment that they would have to construct. Another issue is the time. Many farmers do not have the time to take on that much more effort, because they are already busy with taking care of the rest of the car.
