Here I was thinking that it wasn't ridiculously out of line like some of these urban farming projects. Looking at the farms for sale in my area, there's a traditional land-based dairy farm in a rural area – with 50kg of quota (approximately 50 cows) – listed at $4M Canadian dollars, or just shy of €2.8M at the current exchange rate.

Thise numbers say a lot more about the need to reform Canada's supply management system for dairy production which is basically analogous to taxi medallions for dairy cows. It's why cheese and milk are roughly twice as expensive as in the US.

  The US isn't much better. The subsidies farmers get block more efficiently farmed dairy here in New Zealand and are a source of some frustration to NZ farmers.
