DAIRY FARMER DECIDES TO BOTTLE HIS OWN MILK RATHER THAN DUMP IT, SELLS OUT IN HOURS!

From Steadfast Clash.com (May 8):

This is the definition of innovation. This is what is so great about being an entrepreneur as well. When people are faced with challenges, they can either adapt to change or die.

In fact, this is what happened to Toys R Us. Everyone loved Toys R Us, but as companies like Amazon started stepping in, Toys R Us failed to adjust their business model to better fit the new way of doing business so they ended up having to file for bankruptcy and close up shop.

The coronavirus pandemic is crushing businesses and farmers as well. One farmer who was having trouble was going to have to dump out gallons upon gallons of milk decided to adapt to change, innovate and bottle his own milk to sell to the public.

Once they did this, they sold their entire inventory of milk within hours!

According to Trib Live,

“We have 200 cows, and 70 currently produce milk. What we don’t sell in the farm store, (Schneider’s) comes out and purchases what’s left over every other day. This runs through Sunday, so who knows what will happen,” Brown said.

“We’re talking about 12 milkings we would have to dump. … I just don’t want to do that,” Brown said. [read more]

Good for him! No use in wasting the milk.
