You really think that’ll put much of a dent in a farmer’s wallet?
Let’s do some more math. Let’s say they raise the price of a gallon of milk by €0.10. Nobody will bat an eye, they’ll just chalk it up to general inflation.
A good healthy dairy cow produces ~ 9 gallons of milk per day.
So, €0.10 * 9 = €0.90 per day extra, per dairy cow. That would actually yield the farmer an actual net gain of ~ €0.626 per day, per cow, subtracting the daily tax.
That would actually end up with the farmer gaining ~ €228.50 per year per cow, after the tax.
Ain’t nobody gonna bat an eye if they raise the cost of milk by €0.10 per gallon. Nothing will change, except the farmers will jack the prices around just enough that nobody cares and they actually profit from it.
Cows don’t disappear when there’s less demand. Cows disappear when people eat them, if they’d just regulate the breeding side of the cattle industry.
They breed fewer of them when there’s less demand.
Let’s do some math here…
100 / 365 ≈ €0.274 per day.

Oh, so you’re saying the tax is a good start but should be a lot higher? Fair enough then, I agree!
