Sweden took a hard-line issue with milk recording, years ago and in fact, every farmer pays for milk recording in that country whether he decides to milk record or not.

Milk production levels in the United Kingdom continue to slow down compared with the three-year average.
The recent cold weather is likely to have had a significant influence on production as many farmers would normally start putting cows out to grass at this time of the year.
"At the current weekly rate of increased production it appears unlikely there will be a significant spring peak," said an MDC Datum spokesman.
