"Canadian quota system but it probably has given small dairies a better chance to survive"
In the short term YES In the long term NO
We have seen it in the cane sugar industry. First you start with a import tariff that artificially raises the price so that locals can compete. Now everyone wants in so you put in a quota system. So now farm A B C and D have quotas. Now farm A decides to sell out because his kids do not want to take over. His choice is to sell his quota to farm B C D or a outsider. The outsider has a hard time getting started because now he has to come up with 1 to 2 million extra dollars to get in. It is much easier for farm B C or D to buy him out because it is a expansion rather than a start from new operation.
So you have B buying A today and C buying D next week and B buying C in 20 years. Now C owns all 4 farms because a outsider had the added expense of the quota to contend with. So the only way to get started was to inherit your original farm.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
