1. tears rolled down my face seeing the milk pouring down the drain… classic case of free market intervention for no good reason whatsoever

2. I love how the cow gave the farmer a kiss on camera 0:30– 0:36🐄💋💙( 🐄(cow)💋(kiss) 💙( loved it ) ), but this whole video other than the cow kiss🐄💋 is sad 😢 especially in my area in N.Y. we are one of the poorest in the state, people are homeless here and starving (and lower and middle class are struggling the most) and farmer's are just pooring food and milk down the drain's and I know for 100% we could use it here and use all the help we can get, so many people here need milk to feed there babies, to drink, and even if the farmer's can't afford to make cheese send us the milk and we will make the cheese ourselves if we had to, but please don't let all of this go to waste, so many people here and everywhere else all across the country are hungry, thirsty, and dying because they didn't have the nutrition they needed, give the milk to church's across the country that's where so many people go to for food and drink in a time of need, but someone/someone's have to help the farmer's financially to give it to church's all across the country. 💁? And don't let produce go to waste either we will make it into food and we'll keep it all in our freezers in church's and home's across the country. But we someone/someone's to help the farmer's financially to give it to all the church's all across the country. 💁? 🍶(milk)🍎(food)💒(church)

3. I love cheese and would happily buy a 50lb wheel of cheese at a discount price.

4. Make cheese 🧀

5. Is the media covering if people are starving? Why report civil unrest of civil liberties but not real reporting about the average people starving?

6. That's a lot of estrogen and antibiotics being put into our water system.

7. Make Government cheese 🧀

   ^kudos to these farmers in central PA

9. The restrictions are calling for less large groups of people gathered. Have you worked in these factories? Some have hundreds of workers. And no doubt it is kept cold in the plant like most food processing plants are. That would be an ideal spot for viral infections. Many industries are using rolling furloughs to keep their employees safer and some just shutdown many areas. Slowing down these large industries is causing waste everywhere. It will be a slow startup for most too because most machinery does not sit well either because of rust, mold or bacteria. They will need to re-lube belt tracks and gears, sanitize the surfaces and check all the systems that lie idle now. Full crews will not be immediately put back to work. Same with farming. Some plowing, planting and other preparations are already behind so food prices and availability will suffer still. People are still jumpy about importing foods in the interim. This is just what our new reality is…

10. 🤦🏻‍♀️

11. Farmers in the past were actually paid to produce food surpluses to create an emergency reserve of food in times of any kind of agricultural crises by the "ETERNAL GRANARY ACT" to help prevent food from being wasted by pruchasing them and preserving them and storing them and to help farmers from abandoning their farms inorder to preserve their regionally developed indigenous farming skils and accummulated experiences and knowledge of the land. So why the U.S Government is not acting as the modern day Joseph to store food in times of plenty inorder to fight famine in times of food shortages? Why is it the President Trump aware of this growing crises? Is he prevented from knowing this agricultural crises? Is he not aware that this will also cause him to loose his re-election chances and that his administration will be blamed for allowing famine to occur in America? Can some of you Americans at least GET HIS ATTENTION JUST IN CASE HE IS REALLY BEING PREVENTED FROM BEING INFORMED AND PREVENTED FROM KNOWING OF THIS AGRICULTURAL CRISES WHICH IS NOW HAPPENING IN HIS COUNTRY OF AMERICA.

    Way back in the 1980s and going way back in the 1930s the U.S Governmenr has passed the "ETERNAL GRANARY ACT" wherein the Federal Government is by law, required to purchase agricultural surpluses and even to marshal armies of volunteers to help prevent crops losses and to purchase these unpurchased crops and unused crops and to preserve them as a safety food reserve against in times of agricultural crises to prevent chronic food shortages or even outright hunger which really occurred in parts of the United States during the Great Depression where farmers were forced to kill and burn pigs while people in the cities are fainting from hunger!

    The result of that "ETERNAL GRANARY ACT" has made the U.S an agricultural powerhouse which resulted in the 1980s the creation of food surpluses piling up one after the other as part of the Cold War Security Policy of the U.S which it should had maintained no matter what the situations and circumstances are.

    In the 1980s you have a wheat mountain, a corn mountain, a cheese mountain, a powdered milk mountain, a freeze-dried dehydrated meats and poultry mountain, a freeze-dried dehydrated fruits and vegetables mountain, a freeze-dried dehydrated beans and legumes mountain, and so forth and so on.

    But now the Federal Government is actually creating an engineered food shortage and AN ENGINEERED FAMINE UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. What happened? Is President Trump aware of what is going on behind his back? That the States Governors and State officials and State agencies and even the Federal government is actually creating an artificial food shortage that will lead to a food shortage that will become chronic food shortages and even locallized chronic hunger zones that will eventually evolved into localized famine in parts of the United States?

    Is he not aware of what is going on that while he is so concentrated on this coronavirus crises, the very people around him and under him is deliberately using his distraction to destroy American agricultural food production, food transporting, food storing, food preserving, food distribution, and food retailing behind his back because he is distracted by this coronavirus crises? That they are taking advantage of his distraction by creating an engineered famine THAT THEY HAVE CREATED AND THEN WILL BLAME IT ON HIM? IS HE NOT AWARE OF THAT CRISES AND CATASTROPHE WHICH IS BEING CREATED BEHIND HIS BACK BECAUSE HE IS SO FOCUS ON THIS CORONAVIRUS CRISES?

    Is he not aware that a hungry electorate is an angry electorate that he is literally destroying his chances of re-election iorder for him to finish the job that is still half accomplished? Is he not aware of this other crises, the agricultural crises which is being neglected deliberately by the STATES inorder to artificially create a food crises in America in the hope of using it to vote him out of office?

    Is he not aware that some or many of the people around him and under him is keeping him distracted by them, his enemies, who are using this coronavirus crises, to distract him from this agricultural food crises that will create a famine in America that they hope to frame up on him to vote him out of office inorder to prevent him from finishing the job that he has started?

12. Nasty ass milk

13. Every injustice, is over something else being of worth, than one another's well-being!
    It's the well-being of one another that's TRUELY of worth!
    MONOPOLY money is make-believe worth!
    Make-believe ends, where truth begins!
    – the homeless in Babylon.
    HE'S US! (In the mirror suffering the MONOPOLY of make-believe worth!)

14. Government please do not buy the cheese they can donate it find ways to deal with it but if the government buys it they will be right back where they started with a lot of cheese. Why do you think it was so in demand? Do you think it will continue to be in demand

15. I don’t feel sorry for these farmers. If they make some calls I’m sure they can donate milk and cheese to different organizations. The National Guard has water buffalo trucks that can carry thousands of gallons of milk. Trumps tariffs are what’s bankrupting these farmers. And trumps bailouts to farmers are not making much difference.

16. How about they stop the restrictions on how much you can buy. My supermarket won’t let me buy more than one gallon of milk for my family of 8. Meanwhile they pour it on the ground

17. It looks like if there not going to make money on there product there just going to Dump it thats Heart breaking so many people unemployed now.

18. This could have been turned to powered milk, cheese, or just plain milk…….for donation instead of DUMPING!

    Idiots….easy come easy go?

    All for the LOVE of MONEY? Come on now!

19. Here's the choice…..can't make any money on it, so destroy it, or, give it to hungry people and maybe even save a life. Let your conscience be your guide. It is criminal to waste life giving food.

20. Smh very sad. America is very spoiled country. There's ppl dying of hunger all around the world and right here in America and yall throwing out food like it's trash. Shame on you 😤
