Hudson Valley, NY –
Dairy farmers are facing hard times - milk prices are at lows that some farmers say they've never seen in their lifetime. And organic milk, once seen as the cash cow, is falling on hard times, too. Hudson Valley bureau chief Susan Barnett reports on a nationwide boycott that started in Maine but is moving across the country.
We'll have more on this story, as well as a new way to break the code and identify milk that comes from your own state, tomorrow on Midday magazine.
