A popular brand in the PNW is Umpquah from the Umpquah Dairy in Oregon. They've been the last holdout in cutting the carton size to 1.5 qt. They've finally fallen to Bidenflation. I was in a store yesterday and the Umpquah cartons in front were still 1.75 but all the new stock behind them were smaller. About the only things that haven't been reduced are a gallon of milk and a pound of butter.
have you ever seen this country change, for the worse, so quickly and thoroughly, as it has under the obama2.0 presidency? and all this following a distinct and complete repudiation of hillary when told us she was gonna do the same thing?
Like companies ain't making larger profits than ever before, while making overhead cost comfortably in ratio to the profits they make now. Like they ain't exploiting Honk for Joey inflation and adding the profit inflation also. And have the gall to say it's all because of Honk for Joey. Make 15 to 25% profit before. Let make it 20 to 30% now and the rube consumers will think it is all because of Honk for Joey. Let's make that our standard line whenever consumers question it. Ok guys this is a situation we can exploit easily. Meeting is over.
Anybody that thinks companies ain't adding profit inflation into all this bullschit. Is one naive living under a rock muldoon...
Wait until the feds declare the official pound to be 12 oz. or the official gallon to be 3 quarts. I'd bet that 75% of the country wouldn't even notice.

If I can spell Boyzee correctly, you can spell Umpqua correctly.
Blue Bell prominently on the front of their carton “Still 1/2 Gallon”.
Braums went to 3 pints a few years back with an ad campaign of what amounted to “still the same unit price”. Of course that was just a way to raise prices later when everybody was used to the smaller size.

A customer of mine drilled 21 natural gas wells this year. 4 1/2” casing used to come in lengths of 42-44 feet. Now they’re 35-38 feet. And cost almost triple what they did before.

Some of you children aren't old enough to remember when supermarket cartons of ice cream were 1/2 gallon. Two quarts for the math impaired.
Reducing size at increased price is profit inflation. Especially when companies have the same amount to sell as before.
Not necessarily… raw materials cost more…transportation and labor costs too…
You didn't get a fuuuking thing I said obviously.
After over head cost are still covered...
Then you make more with same amount as before at increased price in less amount of product.
Hello Mcfly.......
You are one of those who think profit inflation isn't going on???
I knew my post would bring out someone. And then you select quote cause you got blinders on... Can't cherry pick anything in my original post. It lays out the bullschit going on.. Anyone who thinks otherwise is numb....

That’s no schitt. Half the DemoRat’s are as dumb as the Groids they love to pander too.
Look no farther than Lying Hiden Biden and The Laughing Hyena Ho for a prime example. 🤪

Yep. Just cruise down the Chips or Cereal Isle for concrete evidence.

My above post. Ritchey's sells 1/2gl tubs. Local dairy, local cows. But it wouldn't be good enough for the PNW crowd. No RBST, no antibiotics😉..... But they make no claims about happy, orgasmic cows!😁😁😁😁😁 Those west coasters gotta have orgasmic cows!

True, They just raised the price on Butter and Heavy cream by +50% in the past 6-12 months. Both were less than $5 at the beginning of the year. Now $7.49 each for a pound of creamery butter and a quart of heavy cream. I guarantee my friends in NE PA are not getting +50% per hundred weight on the milk they are shipping...
Not in NE PA, thankfully, diary farmers are dropping like flies around here. 20 years ago most tillable land was used to feed Holsteins, most are crop farmed with a few Angus down the rough places.
A cousin just sold off his herd. His 90 odd year old granddad grew up there pulling tits.
Just counted, in the 80s there were at least 12 diary farms within 5 miles of the folks house. Today, there is one. And that guy has 5 school buses, makes maple syrup, raises hogs, and sells produce from a roadside stand.
I think he milks cows because milking cows is what he does. Grew up doing it, washing teats at 5am is like breathing.
Dairy is a major ag industry here, now bigger than the famous potatoes. We have over 500k milk cows within 75 miles of here. Dairies with 2k to 5k cows are common and there are a few with 10k. Chobani's biggest plant is here and there are cheese factories scattered all over the place. This summer producers were getting record high prices for milk but their cost of production has gone nuts. Hay is WAY up and you know what the situation is with diesel. Retail milk can be found around $2.75/gal and butter for under $3/lb.
Idaho got it's start in big dairying because of CA's idiotic environmental laws. They drove the big dairies out and they moved here.

Those are the operations driving ours out of business.
No way to earn a living with a couple kids and a hired man or 2, farming 5-800 acres and milking 80 cows. Not against the efficiency of a 5k head herd, buying railcars of feed. Only a few people using turntables and other automation.
Is it bad, or evolution?
Both.
Two years ago we saw the affect of centralized food production.
Issues in 3 100 head milking herds are no big deal.
Same with a diary that serves 50 of those farms.
Little bump in the road.
Let 3-5 10k head herds get shut down and it's a problem. Same with the Chobani plant.
Milk, cheese, yogurt....no huge deal if it became scarce for a bit. But butter? :cry No idea just what else might be affected.
We have what's needed for those big dairies - lots of room so they can be away from people. What we lack is another essential - water. A dairy like that uses a million gal a day or more. A cow needs 10 gal just for the milk she produces, in addition to body functions and cleanup. Many of the farms are now composting the manure and spreading it on their hay fields. Plants can use compost more efficiently and it reduces potential pollution in the water table.
If you want to buy some rural land here, you'd do well to carefully study Google Earth, looking for dairies and feedlots upwind of any property you're interested in. I've seen very very nice, low priced properties downwind of a dairy. They're sometimes impossible to sell.
One of my foster parents, to this day I have no idea how they made it into the system but the husband was always drunk. He loved ice cream too, he caught me eating it one evening. He hit me in the head with baking sheet knocked me out cold… chit hurt. Nugget
Might not be what it seems? Could be inflation, could be they just switched suppliers? I'd not be surprised if the new casing came from Turkey and was cut to a different standard?
LaLa is the big dairy outfit in Mexico. When I was working in Torreon, we drove past several of their dairies each day. Approx 5k head per set up. All dry lot. Alfalfa was grown in long strips. Flood irrigated. The strips were exactly 6x the width of the cutter head on the swather. Swather would make 3 trips down the field and back. Move to the next strip. I did not see any alfalfa being baled. Only saw green chop in the back of two and three axle trucks being moved to the cows. IIRC, they said 10 to 11 cuttings per year. 3 weeks per cutting in warm weather. 4-5 weeks in cool weather.
