Headline in Lancaster Farming Magazine

"NODPA demands Living Wage for Organic Dairy Farmers" Where to start? Does NODPA(Northeast Organic Dairy Producers) realize that a "wage" is something that is paid by an employer? And that these "Organic" Dairy Producers are SELF-employed? And that they, individually, elected to become "organic" producers? And that they have no employer? That, they are, in fact, masters (and mistresses!) of their own businesses, and no one, anywhere, pays them a wage? And that if they WANT a wage, they should get a fricking job?

Linky goodness.

It's like the NODPA (super fun to say out loud, by the way. Nod-Pa.) woke up one day and realized that milk prices change, and natural disasters occur.
