I'm in the middle of dairy country and the value-added side of dairy is booming and the basic milk production is their feedstock. The opportunity here is for export.
Dairy farmers are being forced to sell their good production cows to the meat market for a fraction of their previous value.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Milk Farmers are on the verge of suicide. Letters of mental health centers sent with cancelation.
OK - but Walmart has to buy their milk somewhere.
Maybe they can become Aldi’s suppliers. For those of y’all who don’t have one, demand one.
That’s why I have a file cabinet in my office at home.
This is very interesting. It sounds like milk is being shipped into Pennsylvania to be sold at or above the state-regulated minimum price, while other milk, possibly from the same cows, is sold for half the price or less in other states.

Milk isn’t cheap down here. A gallon is cheaper in Indiana than a half gallon down here(La.).However, seafood and mudbugs are cheaper.
The left has been dissing milk (and meat) for decades

So, can’t they sell directly to the new Walmart plant?.....................Udderly ridiculous!..............
The milkers are classified as “canners and cutters” in the processing industry. Soups, etc. Certainly not steaks, roasts, etc.
Maybe they should start selling raw (real) milk locally. I pay $7 / gallon, which is a bit high, but there is only one source.
I had no idea they were building in Fort Wayne.
Dean Foods is ending their contracts with dairy farmers in a certain area because Walmart is building their own bottling plant.
The contracts end at the same time the Walmart plant becomes fully operational.
Seems likely that the dairy farmers who lost their Dean Foods contracts would be able to ship their product to the new Walmart plant without too much trouble.
So why all the drama?
If they looked into converting their herds to A2A2 status, they would get a premium price for their milk. And if they bought some stock it would fund their conversion. The future of milk is in A2.
