WUD’s Opposition Intensifies Against Corporate Waste Hauler Power Grab

News

WUD’s government affairs team continues to focus on a priority bill that would have
negative impacts for dairy farmers. Specifically, AB 2959 would interfere with a dairy
farmer who is working with a food manufacturer or retailer to move food byproducts
into feed for our dairy cows. Under the bill’s provisions, a dairy farmer couldn’t direct
a manufacturer to “set aside” any food byproducts or allow that farmer (or a service
contractor) to pick those byproducts up at a later date. We ran more details on how this
would negatively impact farmers’ bottom line as well as the environmental impact in last
week’s newsletter. More information is also on WUD’s website: https://
westernuniteddairies.com/issues/ab-2959/ This is a time where we can least afford additional
barriers for production that comes with a negative environmental impact. We don’t want to
see either happen. We ask you to join WUD in opposing AB 2959! You can find your state senator here. You can also email info@wudairies.com and give us your name, dairy name, city/county and we will make sure your Senator hears from you about this legislation.
