While overall food costs increased Month to Month, March 2019 vs. March 2020 due to lack of inventories, Dairy farmers found themselves dumping milk that had been destined for nongrocery buyers, such as school cafeterias.  Prices fell and Dairy farmers were unable to redirect their supply fast enough to  retailers.
