Arizona dairy farms struggling after coronavirus shuts down restaurants and schools
Even though milk is flying off the shelves at your local grocery stores, local dairy farmers are struggling after schools and restaurants closed down due to coronavirus. They account for up to 30% of their business here in Arizona.
At Caballero Dairy Farm in Eloy, the work doesn’t stop but the money isn’t coming in as it used to.
“If you took our worst year, it wouldn’t be as bad as the next three months financially,” said Caballero Dairy Farm owner Craig Caballero.
Caballero said his farm will lose $500,000 from March to April.
