OK guys do the math.
The average American in 1975 consumed 24 gallons of milk a year. That's 215,970,000 people X 24 = 5,183,280,000 gallons of milk. Today 329,920,000 consume 17 gallons. So 329,920,000 X 17=5,608,640,000 gallons. 5,608,640,000 - 5,183,280,000=425,360,000. That's 425,360,000 more gallons needed per year today.

Somewhere in there you are going to find it was more mismanagement than anything else.
I read something last month from the USDA that said demand for dairy products in the US has risen every year sense the mid 70's.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
