Dairy farmers in the area are happy to see a bounce back in milk prices recently. According to Hoard’s Dairyman the price of November Base Class I fluid milk was up $2.84 to $18.04 last month. That brings the price back up to levels close to the yearly high back in July. Rich Olson of Olson Family Farms in southern Door County says he anticipates the demand for milk to stay strong right through the holidays.
Olson adds that with increased milk consumption at home along with the return of the school lunch programs, the dairy industry has benefited greatly.
