Milk Wars
An American History of Dairy Farmers, Truckers, Gangsters and Regulators
English
65 b
New
This history of the American dairy industry argues that traditional family dairy farmers could not halt the forces driving consolidation or the special interests scrambling for a bigger slice of the dairy dollar. Those interests ranged from Teamsters and mafiosos to state and federal regulators and activists, some of whom worked to impose "e;marketplace magic."e; Others were determined to "e;Let Dairy Die"e; in the cause of combating global warming. Some parts of the milk story are new; most are not. A pure milk movement champion wrote in 1913, "e;The crowding-out of the small farmer is not to be lightly regarded, for he has human rights and society must grant him economic justice."e; The latter has not occurred, reflecting a polarization that is not only partisan but also geographic--rural red America vs. urban blue America.
