Wisconsin Group Helps Bust Illegal 'Organic' Milk Operation

An organization in Cornucopia, WI helped gather the evidence that federal authorities used to shut down parts of the giant Aurora corporate dairy farm in Colorado and Texas - - the nation's largest such operation - - for falsely manufacturing, labeling and selling milk nationally as "organic."

This is the sort of scam that shakes the consumer's trust that products labeled "organic" are what they claim, thus requiring heightened vigilance by government regulators and advocate watchdogs on the consumers' behalf.

Congratulations to The Cornucopia Institute. Details about the work of this impressive Bayfield County group are here.
