Almond Milk Rise Shrinks Dairy Footprint in US
Americans increasingly favor almond milk as dairy cows decline. US almond milk sales neared $1 billion while skim milk falls 13 percent. California leads dairy and nut production, with 350000 extra acres of almond groves and 10,000 fewer cows. Almond milk boosts almond demand, with $890 million spent last year, and major chains like Starbucks and Dunkin' now offer it.
