From strong retail sales to higher prices, from healthy export interest to labor shortages, 2021 presented a number of tailwinds and headwinds for the dairy industry. In a special, year-end episode of The Dairy Download, a panel of experts recaps this year’s dairy markets and gives a sneak peek into 2022.
