Farmers across the U.S. upper Midwest are being forced to dump their supplies of excess milk as facilities struggle to find space to store it as demand wanes, according to multiple reports.

Demand for milk across the upper Midwest is down 20 percent this year, according to NewsNation. However, farmers still need to milk cows regularly, otherwise they risk leaving the animals with bruising, udder injuries, or serious sickness.
