Tell Congress to Break Up Milk Monopolies

Let Congress know you want to Break Up Milk Monopolies
Over two years ago, the Department of Justice started an investigation into anti-trust violations by Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), the company that picks up over a third of the milk from U.S. farms.  The DOJ has never released the findings of their investigation and we need Congress to shine some light on what is going on in the dairy industry.

Tell the House and Senate Judiciary Committees its time for them to conduct hearings into anti-competitive behavior by dairy giants like DFA.   

Are you getting what you pay for in the dairy case? Our new report, Dairy 101, explains how changes in the dairy industry have increased prices for consumers, caused tough economic times for dairy farmers, and replaced family dairy farms with factory farms that warehouse thousands of cows together and generate enormous amounts of waste. Ask Congress to break up milk monopolies. 

Dairy 101 tells you about some of the key corporate players causing dairy farmers to receive less money for the milk they produce while consumers pay more.  It also includes ideas for how to fix our dairy system - and one of them is something Congress could do right now.
