Texas sees lower milk prices this summer

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- This summer, purchasing a gallon of milk will not hurt your pockets as much.

According to Texas A&M Agri-life, the reason is because dairy prices seem to be lower. Unfortunately, Texas dairy producers are feeling the effects of this price drop.

These low prices in combination with current drought conditions are pushing farmers to pay more for their cattle's feed.

Dairy demands are high, and milk is not the dairy ingredient consumers are stocking up on--cheese is.
