Unfair competition by the multinational milk companies supported by government subsidies like Dean Foods is a big factor. They have systematicly reduced the playing field to just a few industrial ag players that dominate based on price. The more consumers can take into account supporting their local dairies appreciating their contribution to community life as well as providing fresh, good tasting product, the better off the neighborhood is.

We are so stupid. Government now had a hand in EVERYTHING. If we allow these dairy farms to fail, I suppose we'll be buying tainted milk from China.

Daily Horoscope for May 20

Aries

As the Sun cruises into chatty Gemini, you are likely to get involved in a spirited discussion in which you can explain your beliefs and values to other people. Not only will this help you to clarify what you think, it will also give others a useful insight into what really matters to you. On a more mundane note, this is a good day to return something faulty to a shop because you'll be able to put your case well.
