@papastone101 hope this helps.

Hey, can somebody tell me something real quick? Sure can. How can a half a gallon of Prairie Farms milk be $3.96 and a whole gallon of Great Value milk be only $2.66? How can you pay less money and get twice as much? Why would anybody buy Prairie Farms? Is there a difference? I'm asking a serious question. There's one big caveat in the answer to this question. Number one, in the price differences you've shown there, one of those containers of milk was whole milk, the Prairie Farms one. The other one was skim milk. Whole milk, even if it's Great Value versus Great Value, Prairie Farms versus Prairie Farms, the whole milk will always cost more. There's more in it. There's more fat in it. There's more nutrients and goodies there. So first of all, that price discrepancy is going to be a lot larger because you're comparing apples and oranges. But is he wrong in saying that Prairie Farms milk is typically more expensive, even if it's whole milk versus whole milk, than Great Value? He's not wrong. Why is Prairie Farms milk a little bit more expensive? Here are some things that make Prairie Farms unique. My farm, all these cows' milk, goes to Prairie Farms milk. What I'm not going to do here is I'm not going to start trashing every other milk and say Prairie Farms milk is infinitely better. Now, Prairie Farms, I'm biased towards. I would love if all you guys support Prairie Farms. If you do, that supports our farm. But by me trying to tell you that Prairie Farms milk is better than any other milk out there is almost shooting my own self in the foot. Because milk from other brands comes from farms that are just like mine. My milk happens to sell at Prairie Farms. Here's where Prairie Farms is. I'm saying Prairie Farms like a thousand times in this video. It's free advertising for them, I guess. But here's what makes their whole company unique is their average herd size is significantly smaller than Great Value or any other major brand out there. So I don't know where the exact number lies today. But Prairie Farms' average herd size is somewhere between like 120 to 150 cows. So when you buy Prairie Farms milk, on average, you're supporting smaller family-owned farms. Now, 98% of all farms are family-owned. I'm not trying to villainize large farms either. I would never do that. I've actually gone out of my way to defend larger farms. But I'm just putting the information out there. Prairie Farms has what's called kind of a base program. So if I go over a certain amount of pounds of milk shipped per day, I don't get paid as much on that milk that goes over and above that. Now, some people really hate that. Some people really like that. For me, as the producer for Prairie Farms, it helps guarantee me a better pay price because they aren't picking up milk they don't need. They aren't picking up an excess of milk when dairy producers are currently producing an excess of milk. So they don't pick up more than they need so they can pay me, give me a better pay price. So here's the reason to buy Prairie Farms is if you believe and if you would rather have many, many more small farms where your milk comes from versus maybe one or two big farms, that's a motivation to buy Prairie Farms. I can't tell you that it's going to significantly change the nutritional value of milk because the large farms farm just like I do. But I personally like more smaller farms. I think that's a whole other conversation. But that's one reason to buy Prairie Farms milk is if you like the concept of more smaller farms and you would rather support farms like mine, you could buy Prairie Farms. But you can still know your farms even if you buy the lower price, great value option. You can look at where the label is, which plant that milk came from, look on the code, and you can see. Maybe it came from this one in Wisconsin and find out which farm shipped to that plant in Wisconsin, stuff like that. So anyways, I hope that clears some of that up. So if you're going to ask me, I'm going to tell you to buy Prairie Farms because I'm biased. So have a good one.
