31 JULY 2009 -- GLENDALE, AZ: Javier Sanchez (CQ) milks some of the 1800 Jerseys on the Rovey Dairy in Glendale. The Arizona dairy industry is struggling to survive the worst milk economy some have ever seen. Due to the global recession, overseas demand for Arizona dairy products has plummeted, forcing prices down while production costs have stayed stable or gone up. For every $1 dairymen earn from milk sales, it cost them $1.50 to produce the milk. Photo by Jack Kurtz
