Warehouse under embargo (was Re: Re: New Items at the Warehouse!)

June 15, 2010

What we need to do is stand up for our rights and stop taking the Dept of Ag

interpretation of farm to consumer delivery rights as law. Please stop

undermining the progress made by the Hartmanns FIVE years ago that allows the

minority, insignificant farmer to legally take his products to town. With

paperwork known as an agency certificate, I can represent my consumer families

at the dairy farm - purchase their milk from the dairy and bring it to town for

them. We can't continue to play the game of accepting the views of our Dept of

Ag when they are in bed with the big business of milk processing and marketing,

as well as commodity corn, beans and chemicals. It's no wonder they can pick

individuals and squeeze the life out of them with all that clout. Hartmanns are

pioneers and should be respected as such. We need to make it clear that raw milk

is not for sale at the Trad Foods Warehouse and never was intended as such. In

this case, association is not illegal but only implied. Stand up and join us, or

sit in the shadows and let our healthcare systems work for you. I for one am

tired of our dept of ag wasting my time and money on something that is not

broken instead of fixing our food supply and environmental issues with real

solutions. Thanks for the read, Alvin

Well said. We are at a point where some pioneers need to step up and address

the issue that is going to bring this down. DOA/DOH is clearly trying to use

raw milk safety as a wedge to make farmer direct sales as difficult as

possible. Without some sort of convincing answer to the current anti-raw

dairy media campaign, public opinion is in danger of swinging against the

minority, insignificant farmer, and the consumers who prefer non commodity

products.

The Dept of Ag is not broken, it is working exactly the way it is intended

to.
