My father bought a Grade B dairy farm on purpose when Grade B was all but dead. That no one has ever heard of Grade B milk tends to underscore this. It was terrible farmland. About a quarter of a section as most farms were, but irregular since it was on a lake, and had a couple of creeks. And hills. And woods. Overall not a very desirable farm. But a heck of a place to raise boys while working in the city. When he sold it years later it was not sold as a farm, but rather as a retreat, with a lake and woods, and hills, and cross country ski trails throughout the property. It sold for more than the surrounding dairy farms, which of course were all Grade A at the time.Farmers switched to cheaper seeds decades ago willingly. They switch to a profit based farming style instead of a subsistence style willingly.. Also farmers are subsided by government. Switch plans or get out of the business.
I was raised on raw milk and food off the farm. We did not have the money to spray.
As an adult living in suberbia, our children ate the same as much as possible.
Kefir? Right now I have a one quart strawberry and one quart mango kefir from Trader Joe's. Very naturally low in lactose:I'm Lactose intolerant. I wonder what I do about that?

The plain has some serious pucker power.

Up here where I live lots of people are replacing cow milk and lactose with oat milk. Even people who like milk started using it for coffee since it's better. Not a vegan thing here.I'm Lactose intolerant. I wonder what I do about that?
In my country smaller farms with their own butchers and so on are making somewhat of a comeback. People got tired of mistreatment of pigs and cows so they'll pay some extra to get their meat, and of course some people argue the quality is better.I find this situation sad and disturbing...
