Ethanol and the Price for Milk

By Chris Ulanowski

Oswego, NY – New York dairy farmers are seeing higher prices for raw milk. The finding comes from the New York State Dairy Foods, a trade group that represents dairy product producers. As WRVO's Chris Ulanowski finds out, the demand for corn to produce ethanol, is driving up consumer prices for dairy products. He spoke to the group's Bruce Krupke.
