You can always freeze milk.

I'm lactose intolerant. Hope they get this settled in a good way though.

This is how we go under. All these artificially low prices courtesy of the gov come to an end, plus the inflation of printing money, and we've all taken, in essence, a ridiculous pay decrease on what we can buy. That's what short term planning has gotten us.

This must be old. I paid almost $5 for a gal. of milk last week.

Looks like milk is going to be too expensive if the farm bill continues to languish in congress.

Might have to switch to wine instead.

Biggest problem is the one trillions dollars of food stamps that is tied into the"farm bll". That is the main argument - not helpng dairy farmers.
In 1990 there were close to 1200 dairy farmers in the State of Oklahoma , present day there are less than 200. 75% of the milk utilized is shipped in from out of state.

This is what happens when you meddle in the market. Once you do its hard to stop it and will be painful to do it.

Really, $6 milk is too expensive? I'll pay $6 milk all day long and it won't affect people like $3 gas does. Hell, I'd pay $10 for a gallon of milk. IDK why those guys work like that to scrape by or lose their ass.

It will effect some, especially the old and the young. I know an elderly woman on SS that's on a 50% liquid diet(milk with protein powder), it'll hit her budget hard.
