According to a story in the New York Daily News, the price of milk is expected to jump about 25-cents/gallon in the big Apple.

Increased demand and decreased supply is the main reason New Yorkers will once again be shelling out more moo-lah for milk, with the price approaching $3, experts said.

“It’s ironic that we have seen gasoline prices retreat well below $3 a gallon, but the price of milk seems to be going in the other direction,” said Henry Beyer, president of Queens-based Beyer Farms/Tuscan Dairy, one of the city’s largest milk distributors.
