Consumers Brace For Record Milk Prices As Fuel Costs Surge
LODI (CBS13) — The price at the pump is hard to swallow for consumers who are looking at inflation combined with record-high gas prices due to the war in Ukraine. Groceries have risen 6.5 percent from last year across the board with milk near-record prices.

The average goat produces 2qts a day. Get a goat. Drink it raw.
ReplyDeleteMore fake news. 2400 head with more than 80 percent in lactation means you have 2000 cows producing 150000 pounds of milk per day. When you are fetching $24 per hundred weight that equals $250000 a week. A couple hundred dollars per day in fuel isn't going to amount to jack squat. Price fuel has doubled your talking 1% increase in weekly cost. If you can't make money with 2400 head then get 3600 head. Besides the middlemen are stil taking the major portion of the profit.

DeleteYou sound like the car salesman that says "We lose money on every car but we make up for it in volume".
I drink on average a gallon of milk per day. With fuel prices up, it will affect nearly everything. This is the disintegration of empire. Just going to get tougher every day from here on out.

The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Bosnia, Vietnam, and Korea did not cause record high inflation.

Milk is for babies...or my gal who drinks a gal/day. yuck-o Amazingly the prices of the liquor and wine I enjoy has remained the same or ticked up only slightly.
ReplyDeleteEverything else is up. Walking through a lumber yard is just fucking depressing now. I had a couple projects scheduled for this spring but I've put them off. Money is going into more PMs, ammo, another freezer and more food.
Milk here in SOKY went from $1.19 to $1.99 in the first year of Joe Biden. I will place a bet on $2.50 by July 4th.
ReplyDeleteJust like prepers saying just plant a garden, grow your own food, now I should just buy my own cow!
ReplyDeleteFuck all that, I'm sticking with Tittie Milk and plant tuna.

Gas prices are NOT up due to Ukraine being invaded, it started LONG before that with Biden virtually shutting down US gas production to achieve some lofty but unobtainable green agenda. Let's put the blame where it rightly belongs, in Biden's stinky diaper.
ReplyDelete" due to the war in Ukraine" la vache.
