10/30/19 - Are You Drinking "FAKE MILK?"

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com starts off with this week's Farm News. One of the lead stories is that every year, fewer and fewer cows are milked daily, but production continues to go up; 2% over last year. Next we meet Mark A. Kaster, founder of OrganicEye. www.organiceye.org Mark has spent most of his professional life advocating for family farmers and working to ensure the integrity of organics. He made a shift to organic agriculture in the early 1980s after suffering a debilitating illness. His adherence to an exclusively organic diet was instrumental in restoring and maintaining his good health. He lives on a 160-acre organically managed farm in the rugged hills of southwestern Wisconsin. OrganicEye endeavors to leverage the extensive experience of their management and staff, in farm policy, scientific research and political and marketplace education/advocacy, acting as corporate and governmental watchdogs, educating the public and preventing the erosion of the foundational precepts that the organic movement was founded upon. Finally, Host Doug Stephan opines about what he calls "Fake Milk" and wonders why the Chocolate Milk he sees in the stores comes from Spain.
