Farm Aid Rallies Thousands in Urgent Call to USDA for Fair Milk Price

Farm Aid Rallies Thousands in Urgent Call to USDA for Fair Milk Price:
"SOMERVILLE, Mass., June 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 13,200 Americans signed on to Farm Aid's petition to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) this month, which called on Secretary Tom Vilsack to take immediate action to stop the loss of dairy farmers due to low milk prices. According to Farm Aid and its supporters, the dairy crisis is threatening the health of local and regional economies and promising increased reliance on imports and factory farms for dairy products. Food and Water Watch rallied its members to sign Farm Aid's petition and a push by Food Democracy Now! resulted in an additional 9,000 faxes to the USDA."
