Milk trucks stymied: Some farmers had to dump milk during the storm

ONTARIO — The pre-Christmas blizzard that ravaged travel plans across Ontario also prevented the timely collection of milk at some Ontario dairy farms, forcing some affected operators to waste their main product. More than one dairy farmer took to social media to report dumping milk down the drain because milk trucks couldn’t travel the roads. Producers are not compensated for such losses, and in one video, the affected farmer rubs his fingers together to signify the loss of money down the drain as milk flows out of his cooler.
