Price of Pork is the same ins stores is about the as  last year despite the fact that the farmers in Michigan are beginning to reduce thier swine herd due to low pork prices (what they get). 

Milk prices are about the same in the store as last year, where as milk producters are also reducing their herds in Michigan due to low milk prices (what they get). 


Seems to be if producers are not getting paid enough to stay in business, fuel prices to transport it are signiicantly lower ($4.00+ compared to $2.45 per gallon), and the consumers are not getting a lower price, the "middle man" is reaping the reward.
