Organic dairy continues to grow

Organic dairy products enjoyed another growing market year in 2014. The National Ag Statistics Service says organic dairy products made up 5.2 percent of total dairy product sales in 2014.

The weighted average advertised price for a half-gallon of organic milk was $3.38 last week down 33 cents from the previous week.   A half-gallon of conventional milk was $1.63 down 38 cents from the previous week.  That puts the organic-to-conventional spread at $1.75, a nickel more than the previous week.
