Price of Milk


The farm is paid for the milk that they produce by using hundred weight (CWT). For every 100 lbs. of milk they send off the farm they currently receive about $ 20.00. The CWT will fluctuate based on many different factors (ex. economy, gas prices, seasonal weather). The farm tries to prepare for fluctuations by looking at past trends and future predictions.
