The European Common Market countries have moved away from a heavily subsidized system to a more private market system the last decade. UP until recently prices have been pretty good and demand was good so the European countries dairy farms and commodity farms were doing well. There is currently worldwide a lowering demand for dairy products and milk prices worldwide including the USA are below production costs. I don't know exactly what the farmers are protesting for or what they want governments etc. to do. France is the leading agriculture country in Europe not including Russia and with Ukraine in war they are a major supplier and with that war, the Middle East and China treading water their markets are not real good right now, similar to ours. We have had 3 below trend and average corn yields as a nation and still our prices are not high due to demand issues. Supply for the most part is not the issue for commodities it is demand.
