In short, almond, soy and oat milk producers are going to be in high demand.
Just wait, there will be some corporate culture thing at the root of this. Guaranteed some Wall Street hedge fund games are afoot.
Maui Wowie Milk?
And Elmer...
This is a growth market for export.
Milk consumption drops, cheese on the rise
Consumption of fluid milk is declining steadily in Finland, but cheese consumption is on the rise, outpacing that in many other European countries. Meanwhile sales of oat-based and other non-dairy milk products are also strong, but no precise statistics are so far available.
According to the Dairy Nutrition Council, the average Finn consumed 110 litres of cow's milk last year. Various comparative studies suggest that this was just behind Ireland, with Belarus, Cyprus, New Zealand, Australia, Estonia, the UK and Canada also heavy consumers.
My kids would drink 5 gallons od milk per week. Now in college, 1 is an All American, the other still holds the high school wrestling record for most wins in a career at 128.
To me A2 is the real milk revolution, besides the A2 Milk Company which markets the milk nationwide, there are family dairy in other states like Ohio and Michigan that offer it, this newest one in Minnesota - a good articlehttps://www.inforum.com/business/agriculture/4849792-Family-launches-Minnesotas-first-A2-milk-creamery
2% Milk killed the industry.
Whole milk tastes great. 2%, 1% and skim suck badly. The Feds’ scientifically unsupported war on fat killed another industry.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. Is it because white milk is rayciss?
I’m with you! Bring on the butter and half and half!
I have a friend that this year turned 80 acres on what they always planted tobacco, to hemp. I found out that Tobacco normally sells at $2 a pound and Hemp buds (CBD dense) at about $1.75. They lined up a large list of companies to buy the stuff and invested $700,000 in the operation.
So, fast forward to today. Every single one of the buyers went bankrupt. They have zero buyers for their CBD rich hemp. Zero.
They are scrambling to find some.
The problem is that apparently everybody went all in on hemp and the market is at least temporarily flooded with the stuff. Their bankrupt buyers seem to have invested all their money in product pipelines and forgot to keep some money aside to actually buy the stuff once it came in. Or something like that.
Anyway, farming is risky.
I go through a lot of almond milk. Not because it has almonds in it. I get them unsalted by the bag at costco. Rather, because it’s milk-like but has very few calories.
Wasn’t the cow’s name Elsie?

Taking on mountains of debt to expand and diversify is always risky.
Without perfect execution, good timing and luck...you’re eventually dead meat hanging.
