Dairy workshop will feature politicians, but regular people will be able to speak

Despite having a lineup of political heavy hitters, the heart of next weekâ??s dairy industry workshop in Madison will be the words that come from farmers, said a UW-Madison law professor who will be a panelist. Fridayâ??s event at Union Theater on the UW-Madison campus will feature a roundtable discussion with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Christine Varney, U.S. assistant attorney general for the Justice Departmentâ??s Antitrust Division. It has been organized by the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
