NFO Loses Milk Case In Wisconsin Court
A Fond du Lac County Wisconsin circuit court ruled the National Farmers Organization deceived members of Associated Milk Producers Inc and PMPC to join the NFO. After a two week trial the court issued a 40 page decision finding fraudulent tactics and false representations that NFO would pay farmers more for milk, when in fact farmers were paid less. The ruling details the NFO marketing program as allegedly increasing the Minnesota Wisconsin series.
