Wisconsin farmers forced to dump milk as coronavirus slams a fragile dairy economy | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77568399 United States 04/02/2020 04:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.wisconsinrapidstribune.com (secure)] Quoting: NDFarm About 7 o’clock Tuesday night, Golden E Dairy got the call that any dairy farmer would dread. They were being asked to dump 25,000 gallons of fresh milk a day because there was no place for it to go as the marketplace for dairy products has been gutted by the closure of restaurants, schools, hotels and food-service businesses. An hour later, the family-run farm near West Bend opened the spigot and started flushing its milk into a wastewater lagoon — 220,000 pounds a day through next Monday. It was surreal, said Ryan Elbe, whose parents, Chris and Tracey Elbe, started the farm in 1991 with about 80 cows and grew it into an operation that today milks 2,400. “We thought this would never happen,” Elbe said. “Everybody’s rushing to the grocery store to get food, and we have food that’s literally being dumped down the drain.” Makes no sense, they are distributing milk nationwide thru the school lunch program at closed school parking lots and bus stops. Kids are getting weeks supplies of milk cartons |

Has a long shelf life and still tastes great. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then. If the more I know, the more I know I don’t know, then do I truly know what I know because I know I don’t? You cannot reach a correct conclusion if you begin with an incorrect assumption |

Peepaws User ID: 2811052 United States 04/02/2020 07:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why don't they give it away rather than just dumping it?? Terrible situation. When I went to the store on Sunday there were no dairy products, no butter at all, and only 3 plastic gallons of skim milk, no half and half or cream, and very little cheese. Peepaws |
