Regarding the milk price that the farmer gets: Go to any typical restaurant, order milk with your meal. You pay about $1.25 per glass. 8,10,12 oz. Leave the waitress a 15% tip. You just paid her $18.00 per hundredweight to carry that glass of milk from the kitchen to your table. I know- you won't believe it, but do the math! You are considered a cheapskate if you don't leave a tip- some cashiers even ASK (ie-demand) for one if you don't leave one. Farmer got $11-15 cwt to produce it, pay for the farm, equipment, cows, etc., and Mrs. and the kids to do the work. (In what other job do you bring your kids to work?) Our family started with a 28 cow dairy/hog farm, maxed out at 75 cow dairy for over 29 years-, averaged one day off per year, at our expense for help- and the industry 'experts'- who don't work 24/7/365, cannot figure out why everyone quits!
