I believe it's because the milk producers said they were going to cut back on production in order to raise prices.

[DnetMHZ]

wow that sucks.. we go through a LOT of milk in my house.

 

[pyonir]

I rarely drink milk...but does this mean the price of other dairy products will go up? That would suck.

You can get it for $2 a gallon here right now.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

Just drink it from the trash.

I remember paying less than $2 for a gallon of milk, and less than a dollar for a gallon of gas in the mid-80s, so it's not really that bad!

I still find milk for $1.50 on sale all the time. So if it goes up to $2.50, it won't break me. Costco has 2 gallons for the price of 1.

tsk tsk, viper, rolling your eyes before you do a simple google search. As a matter of fact, yes it is. That is, though, the price paid to farmers for the milk, not the price per gallon in stores. Stores could sell it for 10 cents a gallon if they wanted to (but who wants to lose money?)

The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Act) continues the milk price support program through 2007. The support price remains at $9.90 per cwt, and CCC continues to have authority to adjust relative purchase prices of butter, Cheddar cheese, and nonfat dry milk twice during each calendar year.

The standard measurement of dairy products is in the form of "per hundredweight," also known as "cwt". This is equal to 100 pounds of milk, or approximately 11.6 gallons of fluid milk.

The USDA separates milk into four different classes, based on what the milk ultimately will be used for.
Class I Milk: Fluid milk for drinking purposes.
Class II Milk: Soft manufactured products, such as cream products, cottage cheese, ice cream and yogurt.
Class III: Cream Cheese, other spreadable cheeses, and hard cheeses.
Class IV: Butter and dried milk products such as nonfat dry milk.
Pricing: State and federal laws affect how much is paid to farmers for their milk. Minimum prices are based on, and vary according to, how the milk is to be used. For example, the price paid for farmers for milk to be used for drinking (fluid, or Class I milk) is higher than the price paid for milk that will be used to make cheese (Class III milk.)

About 70 percent of the milk produced in the U.S. is regulated under the USDA's Federal Milk Market Order program. Some states-- such as California--and portions of other states are not covered by the federal program but instead by state programs.

I drink a lot. Generally 2.50 gallon sometimes 1.99 I never buy brand name. Honestly it's pretty damn cheap already so another buck won't break me.

Milk is bad for you anyway. After a half-gallon a day habit for most of my life, I stopped drinking milk last year and lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks.
