A shortage of organic milk in the Northeast last summer seemed to suggest that consumer demand had oustripped production, and that organic farmers were giving conventional dairies a run for their money.

But a study released last month shows that even though they may get a premium for their milk, organic farmers in Maine and Vermont may be struggling.

Last year organic dairies in those two states lost money while conventional farms turned a profit.
