The way it works in Canada is they take a sample from each farm, but only test the van that collects the milk from an area's farms.
If the van fails test then they test individual samples and then they fine you the cost of the van, which is steep.
Works pretty well and the vast majority of farms I've visited were clean af.

Source: grew up on a farm.

Then again I barely drink any milk anyway, anything store bought just tastes like water and the family farm burned down a few years ago.
Well, at least compared to 4+% Ayrshire milk.
