It is 1.69 here as of today, and can the government afford to allow all  
these dairies to go
under, or will they step in and take control? All the diaries here are in  
the red and talking
bankruptcy. Time will tell.

Around  here the government has had control of the dairy industry for a 
long 
time.  In Pennsylvania, the retail price of milk is fixed by law...it goes 
up,  but never goes down, and it's illegal to sell under the fixed price.  
$1.50/gallon milk?? We haven't seen that in years...it's around $3/gallon  
here, but the farmers see very little of that money. They are predicting  
that many PA and NY dairy farmers will be out of business by the end of  
the 
year.
