It is probably a difficult question to answer, but if there were no fixed-price contracts and everyone got what their milk is worth, what percentage of increase would go on the carton of milk, cheese or dairy products in the supermarket? What is required? If the consumer is making the profit, that is okay. I, the Senator beside me or someone who is buying the litre of milk in the supermarket is making a profit.
