Here.
***Thanks to Jean for this one
And here is a much more detailed look into the subject, from John Bunting's dairy blog. (Click on each page of the Feingold, Schumer, Sanders letter.) For all you farmers who have spent the last decade gnashing your teeth over failure to act on anti-trust issues in the dairy industry, here is a little something kinda, sorta hopeful. Now all that is needed is action.
This letter, from the three senators to an assistant attorney general, is pure dynamite. We all knew this stuff was going on, but to read the numbers laid out one after another is shocking! Even if you are not a farmer, this should tick you off. Every time you pick up a gallon of milk you are being deprived of competitive pricing, plus the farmer who produced the milk is being kicked in the teeth. Check it out.....

I certainly hope it helps. Good luck.

A little late, but better late than never.
ReplyDeleteJeffro, it will be too late for many, but I am so glad someone is finally noticing.
ReplyDeleteLinda, me too. It is not going to come in time for a lot of people. so many are quitting that even our milk hauler may end up going out, which will put us out too, as he as the only ten wheelers in the area
Sara, if only they follow through. I am going to print and save the letter if I can for the sheer outrageousness of the numbers within
Fingers crossed and then some. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for caring Teri, I have got to get that letter printed up so Ralph can pass it around to his non computer friends. The numbers are just plain staggering.
