MILK Price

“

If I am elected every home owner will be requred to have real assault weapons, one dairy cow, ten chickens, and a vegeatble patch in the back yard.  Milk prices could go up as much as 60 cents in March due to supply and demand issues. California's drought could push the prices up even higher later in the year and into early 2015. California is sending their cattle to Texas because free market drought stricken Texans have learned to mange their land better than government managed drought stricken California. That's what I see.  Another warning that the United States have ceded their ability to feed their own populations, in large degrree, to a state that is going to fall into the sea, and is in fact already drowning in its poliboro style politics.  Bring back heirloom vegetables, and each home ought have chickes and cattle in the back yard.  You know I'm right.   The Pacific region has grown (despite having the lowest average price) by taking advantage of economies of size by specializing in milking cows. The United States dairy industry is a technologically advanced, well-managed, and economically important sector of United States agriculture. Future challenges include the ability to remain viable economically while dealing with environmental and social sustainability issues in the form of new constraints from formal policies and from consumer perceptions. WASHINGTON, D.C.—Between 1982 and 2007, New York lost 64.6 percent of its dairy farms in 24 rural, upstate counties as the number of milk processing companies and milk handlers grew fewer in number but larger in size.
