(Wisconsin dairy farmer Joel) Greeno and other Wisconsin farmers are calling on the Obama administration to aggressively pursue existing lawsuits involving market manipulation and to get serious about enforcing antitrust laws that were designed to protect farmers, consumers and communities from the excesses of corporate speculation and manipulation.
Theyâ??ll get a chance to do so directly this week, at a remarkable antitrust workshop that will be held Friday, June 25, at the UW Memorial Union. One of five workshops around the country sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Justice, the Madison workshop will focus on consolidation of control over the dairy industry.
