Milk market: Dairy prices low, but trending upward
MOSES LAKE — Dairy farmers have had a rough summer, but things may be looking up, according to the Dairy Farmers of Washington, the Washington State Dairy Federation and Eastern Washington dairy farmers. “The dairy industry landscape this last year, I think it’s kind of a mixed bag,” Dairy Farmers of Washington Executive Director Steve Seppi said. “I think the same inflation that’s hitting all consumers across all categories… it’s had a significant impact on the dairy industry.” Seppi elaborated on the market.
