hmmm, guess dentists and pharmaceutical companies aren't making enough money these days - need to up milk prices so everybody's teeth can go bad and osteoporosis gets worse.

Jeeez, when will the price hikes on EVERYTHING stop?

Damn! Just when I had the 90 MPG milk powered car perfected too! Worked with whole, 2%, 1% and skimmed milk too! Very high performance -- just press down on the accelerator and watch your car mooooooooooove!

I was driving down the road earlier this week and a sign on one of the gas stations on my way said, "Stock up on milk! Prices going up April 1!"

Maybe they should switch to other animals besides Cows (and the occasional goat) for milk.
I could go for a nice cold glass of rat milk right about now.

Dairy economists predict the retail price of milk could rise as much as 30 cents per gallon

Wonder if the milk industry's profits will rise as much as Exxon's does, when they have a 30 cent per gallon increase in their product?

New Incentives are being given out for ethanol production, none for food. The grocery shopper is the source for that.

Just wait a couple of years, and after all the money is p*ssed away only to learn that ethanol production consumes more energy than it produces.

I am glad my son has moved out of the house, when he lived here we went through 5/6 gallons a week. Now we barely go through 1 a week.

When government meddles in the free market, price distortions occur. Burn ethanol or oil, emissions and CO2 occur, but the greens in government say ethanol good, oil bad out of emotional bias.

By pushing ethanol and giving it tax breaks, corn is in demand and its price rises. Bio diesel is next and that will make soybeans pricey too. Milk, beef, pork, chicken and fertilizer prices will rise due to market effects of political decisions of the do gooders.
