The US government pays dairy farmers large subsidies to produce that milk.  That's why it costs 1/3 of what it costs in other countries.  It's also why there's so much God damn waste.

Surely the lack of orders from schools, restaurants, and food production companies have nothing to do with this.

Penguin_named_Nori: God. Imagine the smell.


I'm imagining the herds getting culled to increase the beef supply while simultaneously reducing the farking nitrate burden on the Karst System Aquifer. Gott damned dairy farms of 10,000 cows produce the same piss & shiat of 100,000 humans, a small city's worth of effluent on a few acres, usually right above the recharge area for the North Florida springs. I'm tired of the formerly pristine springs that were blue, white, and silver with a hint of Eelgrass Valesenaria green nowrunning raw brown from all the damned algae.

Screw the dairy/cattle farmers, they had better options and instead they threw money at lobbyists to get their own damned way to pollute without restraint. Maybe now the Florida freshwater springs will flow ammonia & nitrate-free again.

There was an identical story in our local rag about Utah and Idaho farmers. They only produce it. The processors aren't processing due to reduced demand (lot more places than grocery stores buy milk).

So, the farmers don't have anywhere to go with it, unless the government plans to step in and start making it rain on the processors.

Yea stores are limiting purchases, cows are producing same amount of milk.

Milk that would go to commercial sector, ie schools and restaurants is creating surplus. Milk for grocery is having a shortage. Supply chain needs to be fixed slightly.

Ya lots of people have been "making nut milk" since the pandemic.

Does the 'P' stand for Packaging? 'Cause that's the issue, these dairies are set up to deliver milk by the tanker, not by the quart, but the places that buy tankers of milk can't move their own product right now, so their intake tanks are full. (Due to a related problem - when your product is 50lb bags of cheese for food service, and you're not set up to make 1/2lb bags for grocery stores.) I guess you could visit the dairy and fill your reusable jugs from a milk spigot. Or, hey, they've got those water jug filler-dispensers in grocery stores, right? That suggests a similar line of thought...

I'm kinda okay with this. I have been thinking about the 'Plastic Problem' with disposable one-use only liquids packaging for years. Sometimes I think that in order to save the planet, we really need to go back to using recyclable glass bottles for milk, juice, and sodas.

Are you suggesting the milkman will be too tired out for a second round after banging the house-husband first? 'Cause these are professionals you're talking about. Service professionals.

Would need to be processed and packaged. Neither dairy farms, nor food banks, are typically set up to do that.

Some US states do allow sale of unpasteurized milk, but it would still need to be put into containers.
