We Are Retracting Our Vierra Story
Our apologies to our next alleged Secretary of Agriculture Matt Swanson of Associated Feeds. We reported his daughters purchase of one cow for $355,000 for Vierra Dairy in Hilmar after she gave a declaration against Stop QIP telling of the hard times they are experiencing in the dairy business. Well, we reported it wrong. Not only did they buy Oakfield Solomon Footloose for $355,000, but they have over the last few years purchased Bri-Lin Valson Spritz
(Valson), Summer Breeze Tequila Gayle (Tequila), Morningmist Joel Iveena (Joel), Milk & Honey Vaden Fern, Sunlight, and a $24,000 calf called Arethusa Andreas and they are estimated to be worth a combined $1,000,000. If they call these hard times, can you imagine what good times means for the Swanson Family? This is the same family that takes thousands of dollars away from you and use it to stop you from getting to vote for a termination of this unfair and illegal tax.
