Its rude to downvote without explaining why, if it requires domain specific knowledge. I can't speak for the downvoters but I do know from my gentleman farmer

Its rude to downvote without explaining why, if it requires domain specific knowledge. I can't speak for the downvoters but I do know from my gentleman farmer relative (I guess they call them hobby farmers now...) that's a very old article and a couple years after that one of the omnibus farm bills completely eliminated the milk price support. So your justification is a .gov program that no longer exists as of roughly the 9/11 attack era.
Everything about .gov manipulation of farmers is controversial. Milk's been a free-er market than most for about 15 years now. Corn for example is still corrupt as all heck leading to everything from obesity to anti-biotic resistances. But milk is currently a free-er market than most.
