Atlanta Braves Ag Report: Florida shut out for doubleheader

By Benjamin Chase

BANDELOW, GERMANY - MAY 19: Dairy cows stand in their stalls in a barn at the Wolters dairy farm on May 19, 2016 in Bandelow, Germany. German dairy farmers are struggling as milk prices have fallen to approximately 20 Euro cents per liter, far below the 35 to 40 cents that many farmers need to survive financially. In Brandenburg state, where Bandelow is located, the number of dairy farms has fallen continuously for over a decade. Many farmers blame the ongoing sanctions against Russia for adding to their woes, as Russia has barred EU dairy products in retaliation. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
