Wisconsin Cheesemaker Takes Worries To Congressional Hearing

A Wisconsin cheesemaker told members of Congress the milk pricing system needs to be changed. Bob Wills is the founder of Clock Shadow Creamery in Milwaukee. He testified before Congress Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Wills says he fears for the future of Wisconsin’s dairy industry, and he told Congress that federal milk pricing guidelines need to be changed. Wills says it could help save family farms while lowering prices for customers. Wisconsin has lost more than 11-hundred dairy farms in the last 2 years. Wills told lawmakers it’s an unfair system that benefits large companies, foreign competitors, and non-dairy products like soy milk – at the expense of family farmers.
