A few weeks ago, Jim and Katie DiGangi started dumping up to 20,000 gallons of milk a day.

The couple runs Darlington Ridge Farms in Wisconsin. They’ve never had to dump milk before, and the practice has been “completely devastating,” said Katie. “It’s very challenging for our family.”

Dumping milk is pretty much what it sounds like: Disposing of milk before it is delivered to processors and turned into dairy products. Recently, farmers like the DiGangis have had to resort to milk dumping because of a precipitous drop in demand from schools, restaurants and other food service providers, which have been mandated to close their doors to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The sudden shift in demand means that dairy farms across the country have an excess of milk. Between 2.7 million and 3.7 million gallons of US milk could be dumped per day as a result of the crisis, the Dairy Farmers of America, a major dairy co-operative, estimated. But farmers can’t just stop milking their cows.

“Dairy is a daily crop,” said Alan Bjerga, senior vice president of communications for the National Milk Producers Federation. “When a young milk cow gets put into production, you don’t turn the production on and off. And so it’s very difficult to be quickly responsive to a crisis.

If there’s no market the cows still must be milked and the milk dumped.

That’s capitalism not communism.

Geezus.

THEY HAVE SALES RESTRICTIONS, IDIOT. THE BUSINESS EARNINGS ARE CAPPED.  
IN ADDITION, THE MILK COULD BE PROVIDED TO IMPOVERISHED AREAS AND IT IS NOT.

Yes. Anyways, relax. I am a tech guy for a state government. When I click on it.. it says "Video is no longer available". When I am home.. I can search for it and not have the internet security to sift through.

My comments on the video:

• The guy doesn't say WHY he is forced to throw milk down the drain.  I suspect the GOVERNMENT is PAYING him to do this.  I don't see the Canadian government sending thugs with baseball bats forcing people to throw milk away. 
• Yeah, I'd bet the truth is in what's not being said.
• Also, his voice is high-pitched, like he's been drinking too much milk full of estrogen and other female cow hormones.

If you stopped searching inappropriate sites at work, then your bosses wouldn't have to put restrictions on you. Lol

Raw milk cannot be sold or given to the starving children because they’d die of milk fever and a dozen other diseases that pasteurization destroys.

My father sometimes had to slop his hogs with his milk.

And even then hogs only drink so much and the rest is dumped.

This is nothing new.  It’s all part of dairy farming.

WHO'S TALKING ABOUT GIVING THE NEEDY UN-PASTEURIZED MILK?
IT'S ILLEGAL TO DISTRIBUTE UNPASTEURIZED MILK.

YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WATCH THE VIDEO OR WERE DRUNK OR STONED WATCHING IT.
HE DOESN'T GET PAID TO DUMP IT.
TO REPEAT WHAT I POSTED: 
 THEY HAVE GOVERNMENT SALES RESTRICTIONS. THE BUSINESS EARNINGS ARE CAPPED.

I watched exactly half of it.  He didn't state this in the first half.   But, he also didn't say whether he was receiving government subsidies for his milk operation.  If the government is paying him, then they own him.  And, I'd bet they are paying him subsidies. 

The guy's high-pitched voice was intolerable after half the video. If you can't say it in 2 minutes, then F-it.  Especially if you have a loud, high-pitched, shrill girl voice.

It was fifty miles to Foremost Dairy in Springfield 

Bottled or boxed milk is a first world luxury.

Milk is not like beer or soda pop.

My Daddy milked 25 cows twice a day 365 days a year without fail.

Usually the price was over the $7 support price they had them.  Sometimes Daddy would get $10 or more a hundred.

But when demand and supply didn’t add up sometimes Daddy got paid the difference between market and the $7 support price.

But occasionally Foremost would not buy any milk at any price at all.

Daddy still got $7 from Uncle Sam, but he dumped the milk.

 Do dairy farmers receive subsidies from the government?No. Dairy farmers across Canada do not receive subsidies from the Government because of the benefits of supply management. In Canada, consumers pay once for their milk, at the grocery till and not again through their taxes, as is the case in other countries around the world.Who sets the price of milk at the grocery store?The retail outlets-- not the producers or the dairy industry. On the glass of milk you order at a restaurant, your server will earn more from that glass than the dairy farmer who produced it will. 
(Source: Alberta Milk)Why is supply management beneficial to Canadian dairy farmers and Canadian consumers?Over the past forty years, the supply management system has provided a stable environment within the dairy industry. Supply management helps keep viable, prosperous, and sustainable family farms operating in Canada. These farmers can in turn afford to have the highest quality and safest standards to ensure the dairy products they produce and consumers buy among the best in the world. Consumers in Canada can be proud knowing what they are consuming.
