Been the diary WI dairy industry for decades #milkmafia

I was in the courtroom all 4 days of this trial. What a shitshow - literally. CAFOs moved into #KewauneeCounty like a tornado wiping out small farms, clean water/air and quality of life over one quick decade. Judge Boldt was one of few with integrity in the people’s fight against the #milkmafia

Wisconsin is among the last states to test milk for avian flu Wisconsin may be America's Dairyland. But it's one of the last states in the country to begin testing milk for avian flu.

Many not so fond memories of sitting in a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) at the #Greenbay DNR office - a private citizen forced to pay for open records request re CAFOs. So much corruption! Closed my business and moved out of the area soon after. #milkmafia #theydontcare

DNR approves permit for controversial Pierce Co. CAFO • Wisconsin Examiner The Wisconsin DNR approved a permit allowing the Ridge Breeze Dairy in Pierce County to expand despite heavy local opposition.

Wisconsin DNR has been a sham agency since Walker. Beautiful state with polluted watersheds. Our rivers, lakes and streams have been externalized for exports. Thinking when forest are razed CAFOs will move north for cool temps and the last of the states’ clean water.

After delay, CDC releases data signaling bird flu spread undetected in cows and people After going quiet on bird flu, CDC scientists have published a report on its spread among veterinarians. The findings suggest a need for better surveillance.

“The journal released data suggesting some spillovers from dairy cattle into humans have gone undetected, including in states where dairy herds have not tested positive.”

Wildlife rehabilitator explains suspected bird flu cases in Wisconsin More than a dozen birds suspected of bird flu were admitted to the Wisconsin Humane Society Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in the past week.

Not much here but posting it anyway. Wisconsin has been deplorably quiet
On #H5N1 + considering it’s the dairy state with mucho taxpayer support. #MilkMafia

Wisconsin experts say new policies on trade, immigration could hurt farmers Farm economists and industry experts weighed in on the impacts of some of Trump's policies during UW-Madison's Wisconsin Agricultural Outlook Forum.

Zero sympathies from soooo many Wisconsinites who’ve experienced the pollution related to exorbitant corporate farm growth - and for exports. Somebody forgot to ask the body-politik if we were game.

6 more states added to US National Milk Testing Strategy With the enrollment of six additional states, the NMTS will account for bulk milk tank samples from two-thirds of the nation’s dairy herds, or nearly three-quarters of the nation’s milk production.

Once again, Wisconsin’s #milkmafia declines to participate in nationwide #USDA bulk milk testing. One more way for the dairy state to poison citizens with externalized pollution.

Please, please stop purchasing cheap dairy products - go organic, small creamery and savor the flavors. #H5N1
