Something Strange Is Happening With Dairy

The Farm Journal 2026 State of the Dairy Industry Report just dropped — and Karen Boner, dairy editorial director at Farm Journal, called the whole thing "jarring" and "a reality check." Only 46% of dairy producers expect a profit this year. That is a 28-point drop from last year. More than half of American dairy farmers expect to lose money in 2026. At the same time, milk production has increased month over month for 16 consecutive months. The United States is producing more milk than at almost any point in history. So how can both of those things be true simultaneously? The answer to that question ends at your grocery store. Today I walk through the full picture — the Farm Journal report, the market volatility driving it, the consolidation crisis eliminating half of American dairy farms, and exactly what this means for your milk, cheese, and butter. #dairy #farmbureau #groceryprices #dairyfarming #foodstorage #pantrypreparedness #butter #cheese #thrivalist #foodsecurity2026 🌟 Hey there, Dazers!
