- America's dairy farmers are crying over spilled milk - the 43M gallons of it they have dumped in fields and elsewhere over the first eight months of the year.
- The reason for the discarded liquid is that a glut has cut milk's price 22% since spring, to $16.39 per hundred pounds.
- At that price, some farmers can’t afford to truck the dairy staple to market, sources told the WSJ.
