New Hampshire dairy farmers say low milk prices and ongoing drought conditions have contributed to the state losing 16 percent of those farms over the past eight months.
The state's agriculture commissioner said 19 of the state's 120 dairy farms have closed this year. The state had lost 10 farms over the previous four years combined.
Federal agricultural prices list 100 pounds of milk as selling for $14.80 last month. That's down from $23.40 in June 2014 and $16.90 in June 2015.
