The war on dairy farmers began with 1984 roll out of Monsanto now Lily Posilac rBGH/rBST hormone that creates 5% higher yield per cow & was banned worldwide by UN JECFA for elevation of IGF-1 hormones in consumers especially children manifesting in an array of small cell cancers but no problem when peddlers of causes sell cures.

" Under the $1.8 billion Federal program, partly paid for by the farmers themselves, about 14,000 farmers slaughtered 1.5 million dairy cows and calves in 1986 and 1987 throughout the United States. Richer Feed, Greater Production
In New York, the dairy termination program resulted in a milk-cow population of 844,000 as of Jan. 1, down 6 percent from 900,000 the year before. That total, the Statistics Service said, was a record low number of milk cows in New York.
But with the drop in the number of cows and declining prices for milk at the farm, the farmers responded by producing more milk per cow."
