Dairy farms in a sparsely populated state such as Wyoming are least likely to produce milk for local fluid milk consumption. This is because fluid milk, which is the milk that is pasteurized and sold as a beverage in stores, has a short shelf life and is best consumed fresh. In areas with a low population density, there aren't enough consumers nearby to support a large fluid milk market. Instead, these dairy farms are more likely to produce milk for products that are less perishable and can be transported over longer distances, such as cheese, butter, powdered milk, or other dairy products that have a longer shelf life and can withstand the transportation and storage logistics required to reach more distant markets.
