Well thats odd... Milk prices as far as I know are still set by that ridiculous
system where what is set in Wisconsin goes for the whole country. Connecticut
has some kind of deal where some tax goes back to dairy farmers forced (because
of the crazy rule) to sell milk below the cost of production. I think its a
good idea, otherwise Connecticut will become nothing but tract housing for
people who work in NYC...
We drink organic milk and pay between $5 and $6 a gallon depending if we drink
store brand or "The Organic Cow of Vermont". We really like the taste of
organic milk although honestly as long as its really cold I don't really care...
The Vermont whole milk though is absolutely sinful... I have an uncle who
chides me because I generally drink 1% and was making fun of me for drinking
organic milk. I got him some of the Vermont whole and he's a believer...

Milk is still priced (in New England especially) below the cost of
production. Cheese of course is tied to the price of milk. Besides
which its gone up to what? Here regular cheap brand milk is around
$2.50 a gallon, thats up maybe 100% since I started college 15 years
ago when gas was $1/gal and gold was $300/oz.

what I said before milk and cheese haven't risen crazy (I don't pay
much attention to bread) its just that you were conditioned to prices
that were way too low to begin with.
