So why isn't the price coming back down? I remember when dairy prices started climbing fast about 5 years ago the reason given was that there was high worldwide demand and low supply. As far as I can tell, cheese prices (the one I noticed immediately) haven't come down at all.

Its being poured out. Supply and demand influence on price depends on goods brought to market. Dumping out some supply removes it from the supply and demand equation.

I'm the grandson of an Italian immigrant tenement farmer and it would do my heart good if those loses could be dumped into raw milk artisinal products.

Let me know if you're in a CSA with a raw milk producer or a cheese maker. I'll donate time and effort to hook up producers.
