The Washington Post draws attention to an interesting opportunity for America and its dairy producers when it informs us that President Obama’s agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack recently told a South Dakota assembly of farmers that it was time for “a longer-term discussion about structural changes in the way the dairy industry is currently operated so we no longer have these rather stark contrasts between boom and bust.” Seems to me that more shelf-stable milk packaging is precisely the kind of “structural change” that agriculture secretary Vilsack is talking about.
Shelf-stable milk in America?
If U.S federal dairy policy was born in the Great Depression, could it be that now is the time to take another look? Why not borrow from Europe’s dairy distribution systems, where shelf-stable packaging plays a central role?
