[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 701371, member: 6897"] Dumping milk won't help anything. Cutting the number of cows being milked and lowering the volume of milk being produced should eventually have some long term effect. Most dairies sell to coops....supposedly set up to benefit the producer yet in most places there is only one coop to sell to so there is no real competition for the milk..... Milk is gone from the dairy 30-45 days before you even know what you're going to be paid for the stuff and then it's "take it or leave it". Prices go up, prices go down, seldom with any really valid explanation of WHY they changed. Coop managers are usually more concerned with their own well being and the effect of milk prices on the public than they are with the producers. [/QUOTE]
