Virginia dairy officials say the pandemic closed restaurants and schools, which cancelled orders and left the US with about a 10% milk oversupply. About 5% of national milk was dumped in late March and early April.
Farmers were expected to feel the price pressure when April milk payments arrived in May.
A 10% oversupply is far larger than the usual 1-2% surplus and has pushed milk prices sharply lower. Cheese-linked pricing means the impact extends to processing demand and milk-based feed ingredients.
