Dairy farmers face worst crisis in 40 years in 1991
A Cornell survey shows New York dairy farmers posted an average loss of about $1,000 after expenses in 1991, with milk prices at a 12 year low while costs climbed. Analysts note industry consolidation and rising taxes and labor costs squeezing margins, though milk prices have edged up recently. Farmers warn the trend toward larger, fewer farms may hurt agriculture and rural economy.
