I just can't take it anymore.?

This article is from pennslyvania, I knew I had seen recent articles, and gives a pretty good explianation:

The price of milk may be at near-record highs but Ed Brunton, of Brunton Dairy in Beaver County, figures he was making more money four years ago.

There's the high fuel rates, the cost of milk bottles and don't even mention the price of filling 104 hungry bovine mouths. "Feed has gone through the roof," he said.

The story in the milk aisle lately -- and at the ice cream shop and most places using dairy products -- has been one of global economic forces at work. "It's called supply and demand," said Ken Bailey, associate professor of dairy markets and policy at Penn State University.

Droughts in the milk-producing countries of Australia and New Zealand, a growing appetite in China for dairy products, not to mention Americans' love affair with cheese, fed the increased demand for U.S. dairy products. At the same time, producing milk became more expensive as grains used to feed cattle shifted to use in biofuels.

It's all factored into the minimum fees that state and federal agencies allow dairy farmers to charge for their products, pushing those rates to unusually high levels.

A gallon of whole milk in Pittsburgh averaged $3.38 in May, according to a federal check of three stores, when just a year ago at the same time it would have run $2.94.

As summer stretches on, it hasn't gotten any better. A gallon of Giant Eagle whole milk last week was priced at $3.78 at the McIntyre Square store, with the same price being offered at the Kuhn's store further down McKnight Road. The Giant Eagle also offered whole milk from Dean's Foods for $3.98.

So far consumers haven't bolted, said Chuck Turner Jr., of Turner Dairy Farms in Penn Hills. "I've actually been pleasantly surprised that sales have stayed strong," he said.

That hasn't always been true in the past, especially when milk prices seemed to be one of the few things going up, he said. This time around, some of the same factors hitting the dairy industry are affecting other items as well. Prices for many things at the grocery store have been inching up, not to mention the unrelenting pain found at the gas pump

MTV could be renamed RTV : actuality television. They stopped enjoying video clips for solid around 2003 (once I graduated intense college). yet, previous MTV is the suited! it fairly is the place I observed the bands that could desire to alter my life perpetually. And, I omit Riki Rachtman on Headbanger's Ball, one hundred twenty minutes, Kurt and Courtney Day, Video Countdowns... They was once cool. Then, MTV2 got here out. They performed video clips for a on a similar time as, to get human beings to purchase the channel, then they placed on the comparable cloth that generic MTV had! They extra Headbanger's Ball returned (the only ingredient the channel's executed suitable in approximately 15 years). yet, i'm now not a generic viewer. I watch VH1 classic for all my song desires.

Besides what's already been said, the only thing I can say is that here in Hawaii, our dairy's have been hit with some goofy governmental regulation. If they exceed their quota of milk, they wind up being forced to sell for less than the stuff produced up to the quota, this causes them to not want to produce more. Kinda stupid, eh?

It's all got to do with the price of Fuel. Think about it. Older Semi-Trucks get about 5.5 Miles per Gal. and newer ones get around 8 MPG. So the guy bringing in the feed has to charge the farmer more, the guy hauling the hay in has to charge more, the farmer has to pay more at the pump to run his tractor, the guy taking it to the bottling plant has to charge more, the guy taking it to the store has to charge more and guy at the store wants to make so who pays we all do. Or they could all by new equipment and they would have to raise there prices to pay for it it to. And they will
