Several writers have noted the dramatic increase in milk shipped out from Florida. Dairy Market News in its most recent report June 16, 2010 (REPORT 24), stated there had been 349 loads out, compared with 240 loads leaving Florida in the same week of 2009.
Why the big increase? Tourism is taking a hit in Florida, because of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf. Fewer people mean less milk consumed.
