The TRUTH about the dairy industry in Canada and why small farms are disappearing

An engaging conversation with Kevin Briggs, a third-generation dairy farmer from New Brunswick, Canada, as he shares his insights on dairy farming, raw milk advocacy, and the challenges of the industry. In this candid interview, Kevin discusses his lifelong experience with raw milk, its benefits, and the misconceptions surrounding it, emphasizing the importance of knowing your farmer for safe consumption. He dives into the science of somatic cell counts and A2A2 milk, revealing how feed quality and butterfat impact digestibility and industry trends. With humor and heartfelt anecdotes, Kevin paints a vivid picture of the grit required to run a small-scale dairy farm while navigating Canada’s quota system, rising costs, and the loss of local processing plants.This interview uncovers the realities of dairy farming as a lifestyle, not just a job, with Kevin reflecting on the sacrifices, like missing family events, and the rewards of producing quality food. He critiques the quota system’s pros (stable income) and cons (limiting direct sales), and shares why his kids chose other paths due to low profits and high demands. From the impact of chlorinated water on raw milk tolerance to the economic pressures of rising input costs, this discussion highlights the need for localized food systems and policy reform to support small farms. Perfect for anyone curious about where their food comes from, this video offers a raw, authentic look at dairy farming through the eyes of a seasoned farmer.
