Would make a lot of gubmint cheese...
I think it’s possible that you can’t get trucks to haul it, it’s currently quite difficult to impossible to get goods shipped by truck.
Milk, which has to be shipped quickly would be vulnerable to any delays.
That’s my guess
ANOTHER mega-STUPID brought to you by BIG GOVERNMENT!
Instead of processing it for long term storage (like cheese) they DUMPED IT????
Can this be blamed on Trump somehow?
I’ve had a hard time getting milk delivered through my several grocery delivery methods I rely on. Found some very expensive organic milk that I have to shake so the cream that rises to the top will mix in. It’s tasty but my 17 year old is skeptical.
Wish milk was easier to get via delivery, like the old milkmen of the past—I’d be willing to pay more for those millions of gallons being dumped.
My thoughts exactly.
I understand the producers don’t have the equipment for consumer goods, but they can’t sell the milk to a producer that needs it to fill the store shelves? I guess it isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Packaging
Schools give out milk in the tiny cartons.
Stores in the 1/4 and 1/2 gallon jugs.
Military and large cafeterias use those big boxes that go in the milk frigs.
The demand for the tiny and large have dropped off the map. Not enough demand in stores for the jugs.
Because the Government wants us all to stay inside
and not see the (Too Shocking) arrests of high-end
pedophiles and the rescue of the mole-children that
have been confined in tunnels for so many generations
that they will need all those ventilators to learn to
breathe normal air.
And milk.
Looks like a business problem. Are there no more entrepreneurs?
School milk, perhaps?
the price of milk is regulated by the government, I wonder if this has something to do with it?
Milk, use it or lose it........................
No, there are very few Americans left these days. Mostly just people cowering in fear.
Don’t most mammals stop milk after weaning? Ice cream is ok though.
And sales to major dairy export markets have dried up as the food-service sector largely shuts down globally
Gee, that’s too bad for China...
The refers are in New York City.
Someone I used to work with moved to Montana years ago. They could only get to the store about once a month or less, due to distance and weather challenges. She said she would just put whole gallons of milk in their big chest deep freezer, and it was fine later when thawed, just shake it up, and it’s good for a couple weeks or so.
I would think that 1% or skim would be even more likely to freeze well.
