Cow’s milk is not a mandatory ingredient in the human diet. Today any Chinese person who wish’s and can afford to drink milk can buy it. How much grain does a cow have to eat to produce a gallon of milk? How many people can be feed from that same quantity of grain? Two thirds of the world’s population has never used a telephone. People growing accustomed to milk produced in such a manner, is not good for the planet, and makes people more reliant on a growingly complex food supply chain.

The one question I have about this article is, are these people exporting U.S. farming practices to other countries, in this case China, addressing the pitfalls and issues of America's style of industrial farming/food production? The U.S. dairy industry is a major source of pollution (mosty water) and (as has been recently documented) animal cruelty. Our giant industrial dairy farms produce significant amounts of animal waste and every year they are an enormous contributor to pollution in our waterways. When we export these farming practices that turn animals and animal husbandry into an industrial machine, we are exporting the good with the bad and places like China may be trading one set of problems for another. It is funny, right now in many places in America there is a movement away from procuring food from large industrial farms to local purveyors with small-scale operations...so we are exporting what we see as an "old" and problematic system to China and importing their "old" system of local farmers with small-scale production. Hmmmm?

it's great to see the chi-com governtment allowing an operation like this to happen. it's awful that food safety there is so unsure and perhaps operations like this will help the chinese people to live healthier, happier lives

Please send your milk to Canada. We get bent over in high prices for milk here.I know you will use U.S. tech, not Canada for your farms. Canada has only video game tech for export.Too much pot smoking here.

I've been to China numerous times, and what scared me more than the pollution was the locally made Chinese food. Even the Taiwanese expats in China avoided the Chinese food in China - they 'imported' their own potstickers and other foodstuffs and they patronized their own restaurants. That's where I ate Chinese food. Maybe the situation will change in ten years' time. Until then, no made-in-China food for me or my family.

It is China and other places that Americans are getting their milk?? We have one dairy farm left in our area and the milk goes to a local cheese factory.
America is not changed its mind about "sending our industry overseas" So what we have left is a service "industry" and a "wall street" financial "industry". Give some thought to who has been planning this for the last 35 years and what their "goal" is.

Alta Genetics is paving the way for their products and programs to reach progressive Chinese dairymen. The Chinese economy is booming and the demand for dairy products is growing. The pressure on the Chinese dairy industry is immense and we help farmers to become more sustainable and profitable from dairy farming.

This article exposes the tip of one gigantic iceberg. If we demand that our gov. do all it can to promote, demand, and reward development of the next technologies, we can become a producing nation again. The race is on!
