U.S. dairy cows have been busy pumping so much milk that 2016 output is expected to reach a record, according to the Department of Agriculture.

Consumers are benefiting: they’re paying the lowest prices for retail milk in six years, government data showed Tuesday. Related: all that milk means that cheese is also cheap.
