2:39Now PlayingVermont dairy farmers have been struggling for years due to low milk prices. It is no wonder that 321 Vermont farms have been lost in the past 9 years, as the price farmers get for their milk today is virtually the same as it was in 1979. Meanwhile, President Trump’s erratic trade policies are further depressing milk prices at a time when farmers can least afford another price shock. The newly revised Milk Margin Protection program – which acts like insurance against low milk prices – has been an invaluable life-line for many farmers. However, farmers need a long-term solution to ensure fair prices for their quality products, and to my mind, that has to include managing the over-supply of milk.
