This happens on almost every dairy, that's why they have the little huts with veal calves in them to use up the extra milk. I'm not saying it's right, it's just how the quota system works. You have to deliver all of your quota daily.
Seems logical, as mentioned perhaps this farmer screwed up and he found a social media platform to vent on.
