Any business benefits by limiting competition.
I think such schemes (or potential schemes) happen a lot behind the scenes.
Not milk related, but food related, and something I know a bit about.
Back in the 1980s Ralph Gamber who ran Dutch Gold Honey in Lancaster,PA....which mostly packed shitty Chinese honey....attempted to spark legislation that would outlaw hand capping of honey bottles by small producers, effectively eliminating a lot of competiton because automatic capping equipment is so expensive.
There isn't a DAMN thing wrong with hand capping a bottle of honey.
That's just ONE example.
Greedy! Greedy! Greedy!
