Russell C. Honey explains the Canadian Dairy Commission plan to raise quotas for small and medium volume milk and cream shippers who exceeded their quotas in 1967 68. The policy targets about 37 000 farmers and sets 1967 68 deliveries as the quota base with caps at 10 500 pounds butterfat, while newcomers with excess butterfat shipments receive initial quotas for 1968 69.
