All of the msm articles and reports claim that dairy products will double in price because of the formula reverting. “The government” will be forced to pay double...
What I don’t see being discussed is why “the government” wouldn’t simply adjust their buying, and allow the market to normalize.
Is there some other ridiculous regulation in place that disallows the normalization?
Milk pricing has long been a heated topic in my home state, Wisconsin. I haven’t heard anything lately.
Did the cows join the unions? Are they going on strike?...lol
As a former dairy worker, i think people have to consider that unlike soda - which cost about 1.20 average i think for 67 ounces, but which really needs no refrigeration and can be stored for months, and is just sugar and flavoring - milk, which is about $1.75 for 64 ounces, requires expensive cows be feed, cared for and milked 2- 3 times a day, 365 days a year, and the milk kept under almost constant refrigeration from that time, except for being processed (clarified, pasteurized, homogenized) and delivered at least twice a week, all within about 4 days after the milk came from the cow.
And then there are the milk cases, which we used to lose about half of each year.
Kind of helps keep things in perspective.

Yes. It’s called common sense. Something that is not allowed in government.
