So production was geared toward [bulk] food service. You can change over a plant, but all the machinery has got to be retooled.

We're trying to donate milk and working with processors so we can, but what are you going to do, pull up to a food bank with a tanker of milk?"

Dairy and produce farmers have had to dump or throw out spoiled products due to a collapse in demand for bulk products, mostly because of shifting supply chains with the closure of restaurants, cruise ships, hotels, resorts, education systems, and ...
