Flooding in Victoria State, Australia, is prompting dairy farmers to dump milk that transporters can’t pick up.
Richard Lang, general manager of the Milk Exchange, said up to one million litres of milk per day may be dumped.
He said there were 900 farmers and about 30 factories in northern Victoria.
“These all need open roads and an ability to have power to milk the cows,” he said.
“If trucks don’t get through [to the farms] the milk gets tipped, and that obviously has an impact on incomes.”
