Good, Because that's the problem. A farmer gets around 50 cents for a gallon but they sell for over 3$ so we know who where the price gouging is coming from. They say we need raise the price of milk I say we need new processors who are not so greedy. It would be nice if local farms could sell their own Milk but they cant because we live in a country with about 40,000 Laws.

your right,and if all these farmers go out of bussiness then what? There too big of a company, the govt needs to control them and let farmers raise thier prices. Or thet should strike, i bet if deanfoods had to go a week with no milk that would fix the problem. I wont buy there products and no one else should. No wonder there making such big profits with what there paying for milk, and trust me its not going to the employees. we need a union worse than bad...
