When you add in SS, Medicare & FICA taxes, you have to ''earn'' considerably more than the cost of the milk. (The butter/ cream is a bonus.)

I was talking about the savings on milking your own cow instead of buying milk, not selling it. As I understand it, you don't pay taxes on the milk your cow produces if you don't sell it. Clearly, this would be a purchase for a household, not a full size dairy.

I know that. I was talking about the amount of money a person has to earn (before taxes) in order to buy $2.50 worth of milk with after tax dollars.
