Our family has always supported LandOLakes. We are down to three pounds now.

Me too. "Dean's Foods" ain't really Lando'Lakes anymore than LeRoy Beans is LeRoy Beans. I always did like the hot Injun chick on their stuff though.

As an aside, I don't use ANY margarine.

Same here.

The white watery crap that’s passed off as milk isn’t fit to be classified as milk. They ruin everything so that everything is lawyer proof....

Dairy has been a tough business for a long time, at least all of my life.

Exactly.

pretty much slash & burn in the food products industry from now on.

the broiler industry sector in the poultry industry has ups and downs.

cheap feed trained in from out west is always a good thing.

buying bans from saudi arabia, russia or china is bad.

selling excess supply by barge to cuba is good.

I really like their European unsalted butter. Higher fat content than regular butter. Fantastic for baking. Expensive but really good stuff. I hope they keep making it.

Glad there's a use for your bi-product RUM.

Good thing can can get away with calling it almond "milk" though....


No one would buy 'Nut Juice"..........


and then no market for your waste.

Doing my part to support the dairy industry today.

Having a cream cheese and jelly sandwich for lunch..

Had a bowl of cereal this morning with 3-4 oz milk on it with a few ounces of Bulgarian style buttermilk for the probiotics too. Wife puts it in her coffee and tea, so we go through about a 1/2 gallon a week or so.

Don't drink much plain milk around here, I'm way over the age of 12.

PS, for Jim Conrad.................if I could get some blood to mix with it I might try the Masai diet for a while though. Those folks seem to do OK on it.

I hope that there is some way out for them. They make fine products.

I don't have any choice. I am so milk allergic I can't drink a cup of it without having to $hit it out just a couple of hours later. I have no choice but to drink almond milk. With that in mind, I only eat REAL butter. Land o lakes is a favorite of mine. No, I can't drink their milk but I can eat there butter. I can eat yogurt and cottage cheese as well. My wife and I are real dairy eaters. My wife drinks real milk at every setting and we eat real butter in all of our cooking as well. I certainly hope Land O lakes can get their house in order and can stay in business.

My wife works for Keller's Creamery here in Winnsboro, Texas. They make butter and used to make milk solids like what is used in candy. I believe they're tied to Dairy Farmers of America because they used to be AMPI. They make some of the butter for store brands I'll have to find out which ones. I do know they sell it under Keller's creamery and Plugra I think they make the costco Kirkland Butter.

Edit: Keller's creamery is owned by DFA. They also make Borden's Butter.

Company I used to work for built a "milk replacer" plant in Black River Falls, WI for L-O'L 20+ years ago. Similar to powdered coffee creamer. Dairy farmers (as I understand it) use(d) this to supplement/replace mother's milk for dairy calves up to weaning.

Betcha the higher ups at Dean Foods will come out smelling like roses . . . consumers not so much. Hate seeing this type of stuff happening . . .

I use both DP and Land O Lakes here and there. I guess the thing that bothers me is how a company with such a long history and brand recognition can collapse so quickly into oblivion. Reminds us that nothing is forever, except of course Democrat lies.

the company is iconic, for sure

The land o lakes spray whipped cream from costco is the best. Almond milk is just nut juice..no thanks.

I have a 16oz tub of Walmart low fat small curd cottage cheese for lunch every day at work. The price is nice, but I like the taste. The Meijer brand changed and I didn't like it. Dean's, I'll buy that if WM is out. It is good, just not good enough to pay more for.

It did make me a bit sad to learn that Dean's is in trouble.

This is sad to read. Dean Foods gave me my first real full time job. I worked for them in three different locations over several years. It was a good company run by good people. Leaving when I did turned out to be a case of a young man thinking that the grass must be greener on the other side of the hill. It wasn't.

i remember hearing that if you fold that land o lakes box just right you can see that injun chicks poontang.

Doesn't work. I checked.
