Dairy economy is severely depressed with 2018 net income less than 1/2 of what it was in 2011.
1.4 billion pounds of surplus cheese in cold storage in the usa and cheese sales to China are down 65%
40 million Americans are classified with 'food insecurity." 35 lbs each = 1.4 billion lbs
Back in the day government would dump surplus cheese into public school hot lunch programs as a cost effective way
of controlling supply.
Seems to me something like that would provide a jump start to rescue dairy economies in a lot of rural areas while
providing wholesome nutrition to a lot of school children.
