Commodities are on their way up again. Willl we see $5.00 for a loaf of bread here in Pa by next June. If you pay full price for Holsum King Bread In Sch. County now you pay $3.19. What will you be paying for Milk next JUNE?

When we arrived on honeymoon at my father-in-laws cottage, we were reminded when we went down to the farm to fetch milk straight from the coolers to flick the switch to paddle the milk first.
The farm had Guernsey cows so the cooler held virtually half cream and the liquid we wanted was at the bottom. It's the creamiest milk from any breed.
My brother-in-law followed us 6 weeks later on his honeymoon and they forgot the message. The farmer was cross because the indentation from the ladle was still in the cream after they helped themselves!
Loved going to the cottage.. so sad when it was sold

Actually I buy my milk from Aldi or Wal-mart just like everyone else. It must just be cheaper around here.

Don't buy from Aldi, I discovered the milk is imported from France! Well maybe yours isn't
Lidl do use local farmers after a public 'kick-off' for fresh produce.

My machine at work pumps 50,000 pounds of milk an hour thru it.
According to some google crap a gallon of milk weighs like 8.5 pounds, so 50,000 per hour would be.......uh, like alot.

Tell my sister-in-law in Oz, please. She would travel miles to get non-pasteurized and sign a book to say she was using it for cosmetic uses. I was so cross with her for risking her kids health and told Mark to 'sort her out' after all as her eldest son quickly noticed 'Mother' listened to her big brother. Recently found she is still buying it.
*He phoned us on more than one occasion late at night (often our Sunday, their Monday morning) to ask Uncle Mark to talk to Mummy about one thing or another, why he shouldn't go to school/wear shoes/take the Siamese fighting fish for show and tell and so on.
