CoBank’s lead dairy economist says the industry has been disproportionately impacted by container shortages when compared with other ag commodities.
“It’s getting hot, corn sitting in a hot container is not as big of a risk as say cheese or dry whey.”
Tanner Ehmke tells Brownfield dairy exports for the first quarter of this year have had a rough start.
“Cheese exports are down, dry whey products have been up remarkably, but this is in the context of increased demand out of China—I’d say that’s been the anomaly,” he says.
