Gristmill: Conditions sour for organic dairy farms

"The following guest essay is the latest installment in a debate between Ed Maltby, executive director of the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance, and Gary Hirshberg, CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm. Maltby opened the debate with this post; Hirshberg responded here; Maltby's response follows below. We are airing the debate at length because we think our readers should know that our organic dairy farmers have reached a crisis point -- squeezed by production costs that are rising much faster than the price they receive in the market."
