If it does go that high it is because of the feds screwing around with it and regulating it in the first place.
A dairy farmer over in Yuma said to himself "I can do it cheaper!" Got his own fleet of trucks, bypassed the middle guys, had his own distribution and was selling milk for $1/gallon.
Until the feds sued him for not following their arbitrary rules and making it unfair for his competitors.
Get a milk goat for $75 bucks, feed it weeds, and you're free and clear after 8 gallons.
