No, the jugs are made here. The machines which make the plastic jugs for milk are only made in China.

” machines which make the plastic jugs for milk are only made in China”
I wonder if the machines need parts or they lack people to operate the machine.
I was reading there was a grocery store that lost all there help to the government bail out, that paid more money for the workers to sit at home.
Unemployment + $600 a week. That is around $900 a week here, and a lot more then a min wage worker makes in a week.

I found an article with a different angle on the Milk subject.
"Nowhere is the effect of restaurant shutdowns more obvious than in the dairy industry, with almost 50% of American cheese production going to food services. Farmers in top-producing Wisconsin are being asked to dump milk to boost low prices with overall demand for dairy products expected to drop 10% to 15% in the second quarter, according to Mary Ledman, a global diary strategist at Rabobank."
Are they dumping milk because the lack of jugs or because they are told to dump? Very interesting article covers some other food products too.
