The Farm Bill needs to be passed!

Blue Mount Dairy in Minnesota is an example of the state of the art farming in the USA that relies on consistent policy from the government to sustain its operation.

Blue Mont Dairy in Wisconsin produces artisan cheeses. These are local businesses. They are family businesses. Imagine being a family taking care of a large dairy business and having a bunch of clowns in DC playing with their futures. It is Un-American to hold vital legislation for political fodder. The farmers of the USA are under stress. The dairy industry is dependent on grains and hay operations to carry out their missions. It is time to put people in DC that actually care about people rather than money.

The fuel costs to these local, family businesses are hideous. Every farmer needs to belong to a local Farm Cooperative where biodiesel to power their operations produce their supply for an entire year at cost to member farmers. Due to Wall Street profits and a warming planet the cost of grains and hay are going to impact on the agricultural operations across this country and the Do Nothing Congress, led by those like Congressman Paul Ryan have left them out on a limb without support to continue their operations to feed our nation.

These are the people relying on clean water in their aquifers to water their livestock and irrigate their crops. The food for our nation are produced by people as dedicated as those here. They understand their operations to a microscopic level. Imagine the veterinary costs to a dairy operation and realize that is only one cost to the enterprise. We do need Canadian Oil Sludge destroying a healthy food supply to the nation. We don't need another pipeline through the USA. We need biodiesel production and clean energy such as wind farms to power our nation. Clean energy to match a healthy nation.

Why would anyone want it differently?

Willi Lehner, a Swiss-American cheesemaker and owner of Bleu Mont, brings his experience of authentic Alpine cheesemaking to a collection of Wisconsin original cheeses. Made in small batches, these complex, full-bodied cheeses reflect the mountain tradition of using raw, organic milk from pastured cows. They are aged in a special cave, built into the landscape. Varieties include Bandaged Cheddar (English-style), Gouda, Farmstead Käse, Driftless Select "Earth Schmier," Irish Gems, and Lil' Will's Big Cheese. Cheesemaker Lehner is always experimenting with new cheeses as well.
