What Is Going on with CHEESE?

Our local Ice cream still comes in half gallons, it's about $5. but regularly goes on sale for $2.99

IT takes 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese.

I know a lot of dairy farmers. If you had to be a dairy farmer, or if you knew a dairy farmer, you'd wonder why milk is so cheap.

Most of the dairy farmers around here mostly sell milk at a loss. It makes no sense whatever. The price of milk is artificially set by the commodities market.

Dairy farming is hell.
