Penn State Finds Bulk Milk Tanks Costly in Southeast
A survey of 127 farms in southeastern Pennsylvania shows increased production costs from switching to bulk tanks, with costs ranging from zero to about 25 cents per hundredweight. Some farmers quit the dairy business rather than buy tanks, while others shift due to higher price uses and dealer-led bulk routes. Dr Barr notes bulk handling saves lifting but not time and may affect market access for can shippers.
