We warned about this in October, and Congress still hasn’t fixed it. CNN reports…
It works like this: In order to keep dairy farmers in businesses, the government agrees to buy milk and other products if the price gets too low. The current agriculture bill has a formula that means the government steps in if the price of milk were to drop by roughly half from its current national average of about $3.65 a gallon.
That bill expired this summer, so prices may jump starting January 1.
