Oregon, often praised for its lush landscapes and agricultural heritage, is now embroiled in controversy as small family farms face unprecedented challenges. Under the guise of environmental protection and water conservation, state authorities are wielding regulatory measures to shutter these farms en masse. This assault on Oregon’s small farms not only threatens the livelihoods of farmers but also raises fundamental questions about food sovereignty and individual freedoms.
I personally am not a big fan of raw milk seeing as how incredibly dangerous it can be to consume.
But as written it looks like the dairy industry is using its influence to put regulatory pressure on small producers and I see that as an overreach.
I hope that the government of Oregon would back off from small producers who basically make money through local markets and are not a threat to the major producers.
There is a fringe group. You hear about it every once in awhile. Probably the same people that don’t want you to use air conditioning. Now pushing lab grown meat.
Are they that fringe if they are able to convince some elected officials to be ■■■■■■■■ and slowly add some of their ridiculous agenda to their governing?
