Of course it’s price gouging! C’mon. Why should butter be going up instead of down? The pandemic loss of business is over!

One thing that I’ve learned over the decades is when prices go up for whatever reason, they never go down to the level that existed before that reason became an issue. Folks ain’t gonna boycott butter, or milk, or eggs, or bread. They’re basics. So the corporations know they can get away with it.

What we need is small companies to sell products for less - and make money!

Looking it up, sounds like everyone wants cheese and nobody wants milk, so the cream price has to support the whole dairy operation. A lot of dairy farmers got out of the business during COVID shutdowns, too, as they were only set up to produce milk for school lunches and couldn’t afford to change over to producing larger packaging. They just sold their herds for beef.
