*Dairy farmers receive letters terminating milk contracts.<\/strong>\u00a0 Across the Midwest and east coast, dairy farmers received unwelcome news in their mailboxes.\u00a0 Dean Foods notified dairy farmers in Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee, that Dean Foods would cease buying milk from the farms after May 31.\u00a0 Dean Foods says that it was a combination of surplus production and increasing demand for fluid milk and additional milk processing businesses entering the arena that led to this decision.\u00a0 Some news outlets report over 100 farmers are affected.\u00a0 These farmers now have 90 days to find a new purchaser for their milk.\u00a0 [Read article\u00a0here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n
