Across America, dairy farmers have dumped countless gallons of fresh, entirely usable milk, because there is no one to buy it. The shelter in place orders given by governments around the country in response to the coronavirus pandemic have shuttered big customers such as restaurants and schools and kept people at home. About 50 percent of the milk produced in the United States goes to restaurants and other food service operations, according to the National Milk Producers Federation.

Basically market manipulation to keep the prices at rates to benefit governments to bring in more taxes even though more people go starving. They have systematically finished small farmers by pushing them to limits and imposing more regulations to collude with major corporations to have say in what needs to be produced, and at what rate to control human kind.
TAX TAX AND MORE TAX, to feed the entitled and over paid government employees, and fund fancy government projects, pushing people into more debts.

I hope farmers can transition into more profitable jobs, however I hope they also stop exploiting animals- and the mass production of animals and consistent use of slaughterhouses comes to a complete halt. Breast milk is for babies.
