I think with AOC’s plan to tax dairy cows $6500 each, we won’t have a problem reducing the use of milk in the country.
And yet ice cream was downsized from a half-gallon. The milk fat in whole milk hovers at no more than 3.5%. Real unprocessed milk from a cow tastes nothing like the bland liquid sold as “milk”.
I switched to Almond milk awhile ago.
Different to be sure, but it doesn’t sour, keeps for a very long time.
Almonds don’t emit flatulence. /s
Feed prices and seed prices sure have increased..
Why do we need a policy. Let consumer enjoy the lower price. The market can handle it.
In self-defense, a lot of small producers should take a page from micro-brewers and go into boutique cheeses. The citified Dems will pay big bucks for it.

Milk always reminds me of when I was 11 in Le Conquet, France.
Early morning my French cousin and I were sent a short distance down the road to an ancient small farm to get milk.
They milked the cow directly into our container and we returned home for breakfast.
We attended weekly services in a 2000 year old church, which still had a dirt floor.
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Went to Wal-Mart yesterday. Wanted a half-gallon of whole milk. There were only a few half-gallons and they cost $3.33 each. The gallons were $2.67 each and there were plenty. Go figure.
So why are prices so damn high???
Make it into cheese for long-term storage.
We should be exporting the excess milk to countries like China, and the Middle East.
WE have the technology to do it.
The oversupply during the lockdown made me notice something. The Milk we were getting was richer than normal, almost like half and half. Then when everything opened up it got weak again in flavor again. I think some are watering it down to make more of it when supply is short. They are not supposed to, but I think they are.
Any other milk drinkers notice that richer cream flavor when they need to get some over supply product moved?
Provolone.
Ricotta.
Mascarpone.
