A farmer in the Wisconsin Assembly says the truth-in-labeling bills that were re-introduced in the new legislative session are important for both farmers and consumers.
49th Assembly Rep. Travis Tranel
Travis Tranel from the Cuba City area tells Brownfield the milk, dairy product, and meat label standards are needed. “Nothing upsets a farmer more than when they see some of these imitation products being sold and pedaled, and honestly, they’re just trying to take advantage of the good work that those of us in ag have done over frankly, the last 100 years to develop the reputation of some of these products and I just think it’s important that we protect that reputation and protect those products.”
The three bills passed the Assembly in the last session but died in the Senate as COVID-19 forced an early end of the session.
