It's national dairy month!

Since it's national dairy month, I figured I should post something. Here's some news that's almost a month old!

In early May the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments declined to lower the national standard on somatic cell counts in US milk to the EU standard of 400,000 cells per mL. The US secretary of ag - Vilsack supported the lower limit. The vote was 26 to 25. I do not understand why the US dairy industry keeps shooting itself in the foot this way. Where to they think they're gonna sell all the milk they make? *sigh* Fuck commodity agriculture.
