Ag economist explains reasons for current milk surplus
Dr. Robert Cropp, UW Platteville economist, outlines that milk production rose faster than sales since 1975, creating a persistent surplus that hurts prices. He notes 1980 production hit a record 128.4 billion pounds while sales fell, and he discusses cow numbers, per cow output, CCC purchases, stockpiles, and limited impact of imports on the surplus.
