About this episode
Find out about the power struggle in the dairy industry. How can farmers stand up against big processors? Learn ways to build a lasting future.
The dairy industry has a big problem with big processors and co-ops having more power than small farmers. This makes it hard for farmers to make money and get better prices for their milk. Big processors can produce milk products cheaply and sell them for more money. Rules that are supposed to help sometimes support only these big companies. Even though it’s tough, some farmers are trying new ways to get back some power. They work together, find new markets, use technology, prepare for risks, and talk to lawmakers to make the industry fairer.
