Bloomer Dairymen Fight State Inspector Over Sanitation
Nine Bloomer area farmers petitioned for a state hearing to challenge Ray Cress and supervisor Eugene Bautch over alleged overly strict enforcement of Grade A sanitary standards. The hearing, held in Altoona, featured cross examination and testimony about debits for violations from minor issues to equipment cleanliness, with the state defense noting several farmers were downgraded due to housekeeping rather than milk standards. The result will hinge on a 30 day state hearing examiner decision, while officials stressed Grade A permits are a privilege and that inspectors follow uniform criteria.
