Court rules AMPI wins suit against NFO in Wisconsin
Wisconsin judge Jerold Murphy issued a permanent injunction Dec. 23 restraining the National Farmers Organization from using false and disparaging statements to induce AMPI members to terminate or breach contracts. The ruling settles a 10 year action begun in 1971 by AMPI and Pure Milk Products Cooperative, with prior injunctions and appeals unfolding through Wisconsin courts. AMPI leader Walt Kirschner called the decision a major victory, ending NFO deception in member outreach.

Advertising will solve daily problem for rural growers
A letter urges farmers to embrace aggressive advertising of dairy and related products. The writer compares dairy to brands like Coca Cola and General Motors, arguing for a 50 cent USDA assessment with 25 cents diverted to farmer controlled groups for advertising and product development. He predicts improvements within a year and cites W. Clement Stone’s call to sell the product.
