The Griswold bill to create a compulsory quality milk and cream program in Wisconsin was defeated 17 to 14 by the state senate. Senator Harry Griswold argued the state cannot compete with Iowa and Minnesota without grading standards, while Senator Earl Leverich contended the bill overregulates and would push Wisconsin farmers into Minnesota’s cooperative system. The measure would have allocated 20,000 to the Department of Agriculture and Markets for grading and 4,000 to the University College of Agriculture for education.
