Farm Unity meeting draws little support
A Wisconsin Farm Unity Alliance plan to hold milk off the market as a price protest drew only 10 attendees Sunday night, with just three active dairy farmers present. Organizers expected 100 to 150 farmers for any chance of success. Tom Saunders of Prairie Farm linked the action to support for the Farm Policy Reform bill by Sen. Tom Harkin to impose mandatory dairy supply controls. The bill was to be reintroduced after broader backing from groups in St Louis later this week.
