The Madison-based MALcontends blog brings news from Washington State:
Helen Reddout from Yakima Valley, Wash., presented at the HOMES public meeting held at the Galena Convention Center. She will be featured as one of the characters in the upcoming book, “Animal Factory” by David Kirby....
She said her beautiful Yakima Valley was known for its tourism until the industrial dairies moved in. She said it only takes one big mega dairy. Now there are 75.
She watched with a heavy heart as dairies under 100 cows went out of business. Headlights are used during the day because the heavy dust impairs visibility. The stench is so bad, you are trapped. Pollution flags are used so parents, students and schools can take precautions. No more outdoor swimming, barbecues, fishing. This goes on for 19 miles.

So... do CAFOs process their own milk? Or sell it to other companies and brand names?
What brands are part of this 'chain of custody', and why isn't that a big part of the informational campaign against these dairies?
Which dairy brands should we be avoiding? I haven't seen any focus on that yet.
