	How the price of milk reached a record-high (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		On average, the price of Class 1 milk -- the stuff consumers drink -- rose 19.7 percent in Pennsylvania from $2.95 per gallon in April to $3.53 in May. Dairy farmers are expected to receive $2.16 of that, the marketing board said.
		Similar price increases are being felt by stores around the country, with milk prices at their highest levels in years.
		Now that milk prices have risen, surviving dairy farmers will be able to pay off creditors and make investments in their operations, though happier times aren't coming all that quickly.

	Weston A. Price Foundation: Milk: It Does a Body Good?
		Soon raw milk consumption was blamed for all sorts of diseases and outbreaks until the public was finally convinced that pasteurized milk was superior to milk in its natural state.
		Milk producers are not advertising the fact that they are ultrapasteurizing the milk--the word is written in very small letters and the milk is sold in the refrigerator section even though it can be kept unrefrigerated until opened.
		Milk consumption has been linked to many other health conditions as well, such as asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, chronic infections (especially upper respiratory and ear infections), obesity, osteoporosis and cancer of the prostate, ovaries, breast and colon.

	Defra, UK - Food & Drink - Milk & Milk Products - The Farmgate Price of Milk
		Farmgate prices for milk have been low for a number of years and this has been reflected in dairy farm incomes.
		The reasons for the low UK farmgate price of milk are complex and include, at different times and in different combinations: exchange rates; the prices on world and community markets; domestic supply and demand; the low value of the product mix; the low level of product innovation; and the structure of the UK dairy industry.
		The average farmgate price for milk delivered in June 2006 (the most recent month for which figures are available) was 16.83 pence per litre.

	MILK CHECK MONEY: WHAT DETERMINES THE PRICE FARMERS RECEIVE FOR GRADE A MILK? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		However, the effectiveness of pricing federations is limited because of distrust between producer groups, pressure from individual processors on particular groups of producers, incentives for some producer groups to cheat on the negotiated prices, and lack of reliable information on prices paid in individual transactions.
		In spite of these weaknesses, the pricing federation concept is one of only a few practical means for producers to influence the price they receive for their milk other than through the political process.
		Farm milk prices were established primarily by the federal price support program prior to 1989, but "market forces" took over during the 1989-94 period.

		The price of milk is to go up by more than 10% to 15p a pint from the beginning of next month.
		Milk is the latest in a long line of products to go up in price since the new Conservative government under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took office just three weeks ago.
		The government is blaming the abolition of the Price Commission, as well as the situation it inherited from the previous administration: but it is finding itself having to handle a public relations setback during the earliest stages of its first term in office.

	Milk Price, Production Per Dairy Cow Influence Current, Future U.S. Herd Size (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The price of milk received by U.S. dairy producers during the last six months is the lowest since 1978, based on the current basic formula price.
		This 10-percent reduction in producing cows--the milk factory--is the reason the industry avoided a free-fall in price during that period.
		But the six months of highly favorable milk prices from October 1998 to February 1999 was enough incentive to bring about a halt to the declining dairy cow numbers.

	Lid Lifted on Organic Milk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		They came to the conclusion that despite its higher price, organic milk is not better than the normal variety.
		Organic cattle produce five to 12 per cent less milk than cows in conventional production partly because their fodder is not rich enough in proteins, the researchers say.
		One in every ten litres of milk sold is organic, although it costs the shopper 30 to 35 centimes more than conventionally produced milk.

	Investigation Reveals Apparent Milk Price Gouging
		State law limits the retail price for milk to 200 percent of the price of Class I fluid milk paid to farmers.
		The stores found selling milk above the threshold price are being sent a warning notice from the Attorney General's office and may face enforcement actions under the state's price gouging statute if they fail to reduce prices or justify the increased price as attributable to charges beyond their control.
		Spitzer's office conducted a similar survey of milk prices in 1999 and found that many retailers had not passed on to consumers a significant decline in the price of milk paid to farmers.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Price of Milk" review (2001)
		There's one big hurdle to thoroughly enjoying the cheerfully offbeat, fanciful romantic Kiwi comedy "The Price of Milk" (well, one big hurdle besides that truly awful title) and it is this: You have to be able to sympathize with a girl who sabotages her fiancé's entire life in a misguided attempt to rekindling their love.
		"The Price of Milk" is overflowing with these kind of unexpected and frequently funny fairy tale quirks, to which Sinclair adds shoe-string, Terry Gilliam-styled dream sequences, a strangely metaphysical sense of humor and touches of nutty comedy, that make for a peculiarly beguiling atmosphere.
		But I think what I liked best about "The Price of Milk" is that I just don't know exactly what to make of it.

		The disturbing trend of falling milk prices affects everyone and the impact it has had on farms continues to worsen.
		From discussions with industry experts over the last month, the general recommendation to improve milk pricing is to take advantage of high cull prices.
		By reducing the supply of milk, the price of milk should improve because the demand has stayed consistent.

	Do you know the price of milk?
		I know the price of milk, but it varies according to which store I'm at (Dari-Mart is cheaper than WinCo, but they are both cheaper than Fred Meyer-unless they have a sale on milk & Freddie's generally cheaper than Safeway or Albertsons).
		I think one of the main concerns about milk itself, is that it's structured to fulfill the nutrional requirements of a growing calf, and some people believe that increased consumption of milk, and the hormones that are naturally present in it, is causing things like very premature puberty.
		The price of milk here where I live in the U.K. is ONE POUND 21 PENCE (this is for a 4 pint carton).

	First Milk price rise
		This increase takes place in the wake of Dairy Crest's milk price increase last week, which saw farmers receive a two pence increase for milk that was produced for cheese.

		Last week First Milk's chief executive John Duncan conveyed his disappointment at the exclusion of backdated milk form November and October in Dairy Crest's proposal to increase milk prices for farmers, claiming that not everyone would be satisfied with the decision.

	The Price of Milk (2001): Danielle Cormack, Karl Urban, Willa O'Neil, Rangi Motu - PopMatters Film Review
		Whether or not you enjoy The Price of Milk is largely dependent on your reaction to the following running gag: stricken by an unbearable case of agoraphobia, the protagonists' dog, Nigel, spends the bulk of the film ambling around while hidden under a cardboard box.
		But the film is not interested in exploring the serious issues of trust and motherhood that it raises, settling instead for a simplistic treatment of her fears and desires.
		In short, gendered behavior in The Price of Milk is stereotypical, and none of the female characters are remotely sympathetic.

		Citing rising costs involving the production of milk, the farmers said that if the prices were not raised soon, many businessmen will be forced out of business.

		The commission said that exercising such control over the farm gate price of milk would be contrary to the objectives and provisions of the Fair Competition Act (FCA).
		Rawle added that it was common knowledge that Jamaica has one of the highest farm gate prices for milk in the world, and suggested that this was rooted in inappropriate feeding and husbandry practices, which he said pushed up prices beyond the reach of the average consumer and making it a niche market.
		But, Clarke said that while he accepted that local milk production has been reduced from 38 million litres per annum to in the region of 16 to 18 million litres per annum, the committee had to find a way to lift production.

	The Price of Milk : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		A playful take on the fairy tale, Milk is staged as a fantastic, nightmarish sequence in which true love is thwarted and put to the ultimate test.
		Milk catalogues love gone awry with a wit and style too often absent from American romantic comedies.
		From the agoraphobic dog that is essentially seen as a moving box to the Sari (and yes, the pun is played for laughs) wedding gowns Drosophila offers to Lucinda, Sinclair creates an endearing film as zany and unexpected as it is sweet.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - The Price of Milk
		It's weird, wacky territory you enter in "The Price of Milk," and we don't just mean New Zealand.
		And others are more subtle--the fact that the unshaven, overage farm boy Rob (Karl Urban) knows each of his 117 milk cows intimately, by number.
		With its opening credits unfurling on the folds of a quilt--one that's being fought over by the sleeping Rob and his equally unconscious lady love, Lucinda (Danielle Cormack)--"The Price of Milk" has a decidedly Down Under sense of knucklehead humor and self-deprecation.

	The Price of Milk
		In a way, that is a good thing, since The Price of Milk has a very tongue-in-cheek feel to it.
		Rob loses his voice when he loses his cows, and there is a particularly nasty turn in the local road.
		There may not be anything extraordinarily deep about The Price of Milk, but it was fun to watch.
