Competition from foreign markets and struggles in the global economy are causing a drop in milk prices in Pennsylvania and across the United States.
The price for milk in 2014 was the highest in Pennsylvania history, but this year farmers are facing a 28 percent price drop. In Allegheny County, a gallon of milk currently costs a minimum of $3.70, compared to last November’s price of $4.36, as established by the Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board.
