I have ZERO sympathy for his wasteful overproduction. The waste is on HIS hands.

This farmer produces 30000 extra liters of milk per month on his 260 cows so that's only 4 L/day extra/cow which isn't that much. These cows are like machines producing as much as 30-35L per day so he's around 10% extra with production dropping in summer to meet his maximum production. 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.
