Unity the cry as Dunn County farmers push unity program
More than 40 farmers gathered in a Dunn County town hall to demand farm unity amid economic strain. They endorsed a three point unity program, including parity prices, a moratorium on foreclosures, and a farmer controlled dairy quota system to counter consolidation and prevent further farm losses. They plan to meet Congressman Gunderson for clarifications on dairy policy and pursue a formal reserve plan.

He urged tactics from Depression era farmers to deter bankers and loan sharks, calling for solidarity as cheap grain prices strip the land. Organizers of the Friday meeting, last year’s Stewards of the Heartland, plan another gathering around April 12 in St. Croix County.

He urges monthly winter checks, placement of honey near the cluster, and use of Fumidilin in syrup, noting high fructose corn syrup may become common.
