'The biggest buyer of fluid milk in the United States is the National School Lunch Program. Those buyers just aren't out there.'
Owner Richard Azevedo steps over the hose of a milk bulk tank as the milk is dumped down the drain, April 8, 2020, at the Azevedo Family Dairy in Buhl, Idaho. With restaurants across the country closed, milk processors have lost a significant chunk of their market, leaving dairy farmers with no one to take their milk.
"Dairy farmers can't keep the milk and so they're dumping it because, they've invested so much money to produce it already, Money and labor and goods to get it done, that they can't sell it," said Samuelson."The biggest buyer of fluid milk in the United States is the National School Lunch Program. Those buyers just aren't out there."Wisconsin farmers have been among those forced to dump milk.
"Our farm in particular has not had to dump, not yet," said Hildebrandt."But, that's something that we're well aware of may come in the future." Milk pours out of the bulk tank and into the drain, April 8, 2020, at the Azevedo Family Dairy, in Buhl, Idaho. Owner Richard Azevedo says 4,100 gallons of milk were dumped that morning. With restaurants across the country closed, milk processors have lost a significant chunk of their market, leaving dairy farmers with no one to take their milk.Her day-to-day operations have changed little, and the farms continue to operate with a full staff, but she said the farm is a little quieter these days.
