That’s exactly what dairy farmers are doing across America as they’re forced to throw out thousands of gallons of milk.
Dumping is pretty much what it sounds like, disposing of milk before it is delivered to processors. One of the reason dairy farmers have been dumping their product is due to the large drop in demand from schools, restaurants, and other food service providers.
It’s happening particularly in the Midwestern region, but also in some parts of Texas.
Over the last several years, farmers have already faced drops in dairy prices because of overproduction and an increase in milk alternatives. Now, the bigger reason that they’re having to get rid of their milk is because they can’t find any processing plants that can accommodate the additional milk.
