I have mixed feelings. I want our dairy farmers to be successful, but I really like buying milk for $1.19/gallon.
Thanks to dairy marketing boards boosting up prices, that’s about the price of a LITRE (a pint) of milk here in Canada.
In other words, milk costs 4x as much in Canada - because of the cartel-like “marketing boards”.
And it’s as much a rip-off for Canadians as for other countries.
$1.19????
Try $3.29 for hormone made milk and >$7.00 for grass-fed/clean milk here.
Butter used to be cheap and spiked as well. Never saw an adequate explanation from anyone for.these price jumps.

I don’t know where you are buying milk for that price per gallon, but I am paying about $3.50 a gallon, and major dairies are less than 100 miles from me. I am buying milk from that dairy source at a local store. I truly have not seen the price you are quoting for over 30 years.
