[QUOTE="mwj, post: 1125745, member: 491"] Some of the older people on the board might remember the NFO fluid milk holdout in the 60's. The members all agreed to dump there milk down the drain to force the price up to where it needed to be. Since fluid milk is perishable and has a short supply line it worked as planed. The only problem was as soon as the milk price started raising the members could not stand to see the loss so they started selling one at a time before the deal was set. When the dairy company's saw this, they were assured that they were in the drivers seat! :cry2: Tell me again how many producers will hold back cattle when the market moves up or they have bills to pay.
