Well fellow dairy farmers... the climate police have struck again! The next "voluntary" FARM program called "sustainability" is being implemented by our milk processor! I'm sure this is going to boost farmer income *insert sarcastic laugh*!

@nico_du5 @SecRollins @USDA Right! Lol

@DevaCowlover @SecRollins @USDA Sorry, doing something useful

How can our dairy "checkoff" money be used to help fund the research that created the "sustainability" data collection model that we were "voluntarily" required to provide to continue to sell our milk! Corruption! Audit DMI please @SecRollins @USDA

@nico_du5 @SecRollins @USDA They ARE doing something and it is pushing "sustainability" regulation through our milk processors down our throats with our own money!

@DevaCowlover @SecRollins @USDA Too many people on top doing nothing.

Thank you @SecRollins for listening to me....a small dairy farmer. I will always fight for the industry I love and am so glad you gave me time to talk to you!

@SecRollins DMI says "sustainability" is consumer and dairy farmer driven which is B💩! DMI Innovation Center "researches" sustainability and then the promotion check off entities advertise and promotes it to convince consumers this is important!

@SecRollins Dairy Management Inc needs a thorough review too since they are leading the charge of "sustainability" with US Dairy Net Zero & calling for dairy farmers data to be made public. Milk quality has nothing to do with climate change! Thank you for taking this seriously!

1/ 🚨 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BATTLE 🚨 Dairy farmers are vital in rural America, but now face radical ESG mandates disguised as “sustainability.” As @HL_Impact notes, Pathways to Dairy Net Zero will burden small farms with costly compliance. Let’s look at the facts and ask the tough questions. 🧵👇

@SecRollins @HL_Impact Maybe the Ag Media will now start reporting on this forced "sustainability" data collection that farmers are not asking for!

Thank you, @SecRollins. Pathways to Dairy Net Zero punishes small farms to satisfy climate activists. Federal pushback matters. State legislatures are the next front. We're working with lawmakers across the country to make sure family dairies never have to bend the knee.

This will bring in more than $10 million for the beef checkoff, (592 lbs of imports = $1.) Since the U.S. has the smallest cattle herd since 1951, do you think the NCBA wants more imports to fund the checkoff scam or less? Do you think they would lobby for the removal of tariffs?

@DavidBakhtiari Dairy Farmer here! I had a great idea for a new dairy product but alas no financing.

Does anyone work at a creamery or dairy farm in WI?

And DMI is the driving force behind the US Dairy Net Zero initiative and calling for all Dairy Farmer "sustainability" data to be made public. Their focus has turned to "climate change" and not at the farmer request. Dairy farmers are not asking for this!

While the national dairy checkoff was formally established in 1983, its roots stretch back much further, all the way to 1915. on.hoards.com/42gQyxP

@WI_State_Farmer Wind and solar are contributing to increased costs. 45% increase in costs over 7 years. PSC has contributed to this by approving rate increases year after year.

How many dairy farmers feel the need to use a bird flu vaccine for their cattle?

@EricJBott IFBWP!! I'm here to get rid of "sustainability" & ESG mandates for dairy farmers! Here's my girl Gypsy entertaining herself!!! 🐄🧈🥛🧀

We need to build the Liberty movement in Wisconsin! If you are under 5K followers, reply IFBWP (for I follow back Wisconsin patriots) and I will follow you and a lot of other great WI patriots will too. Please share to build our movement!

I had to make sure my daughter was at home after reading this!!! 😄

@WIFarmBureau Did you discuss the "sustainability" data being collected because milk processors are requiring it?

Wisconsin Farm Bureau recently met with leaders from the National Economic Council to discuss key issues facing dairy farmers. The conversation covered: 🔘 The future of Federal Milk Marketing Orders and fairness for Wisconsin producers 🔘 Ongoing labor challenges and the need for a workable visa solution—including a potential dairy-specific program 🔘 Expanding domestic and international dairy markets 🔘 Rising transportation costs impacting farm profitability WFBF members brought real-world insight from Wisconsin farms and, importantly, offered solutions—not just challenges. We look forward to continuing the conversation and advocating for policies that support dairy farmers and rural communities.

@GovEvers This was a Republican-led legislative initiative! Just in case you forgot......

Our Agricultural Roads Improvement Program is helping improve and repair rural, local roads in communities all across Wisconsin. And the best news is that the next round of grant funding is now available! Learn more ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV…

@mokanjim @MokanLivestock Dudes a BEAST!
