The milk producers themselves don’t make the cheese. They sell their milk to cheese makers.
The milk that’s being dumped would normally be heading to restaurants and schools, most of which are closed right now.
Yes, you’d think there would be a middleman that has already figured out what to do, but there are already seventy-zillion pounds of stored cheese as it is.
I grew up poor on Free Government Cheese; it really IS a thing. ;)
I just don’t think there’s a quick way for cheese makers to turn that liquid gold into cheese economically and/or efficiently at this time.
As I said earlier, if nothing else, this is going to make businesses re-think their contingency plans. If Mother Government can do this to ‘We The People’ ONCE, and it’s seemingly keeping us in line, then She WILL do it again, but for more nefarious reasons.

Diana, I have read farmers are having to dump milk, eggs and produce...
Wondering why state governors or Trump could not direct transportation resources (private or public) to at least obtain some of the milk and produce being dumped to take to hard-hit area food banks for those who are out of jobs and food???
...Saw an article showing thousands of cars lined up in San Diego waiting for food (which of course ran out).
Full belly = riot control...
