We are all farmers, in fact my dad and brothers are in the dairy business. But the amount of manure and the stench that comes from Smith Brothers is unnatural and out of control.

Our small community has been inundated with the manure and the odors coming from Smith Brothers.

I am pleased to be part of the Congressional Dairy Farmers Caucus. As a senator from the nation's number one dairy state, I know how important dairy issues are to my State and to the nation. I look forward to working with my colleagues on issues important to our dairy farmers as we work on the next Farm Bill.

Mazur Brothers in the only business affected by this.

It’s hard to imagine calling the dairy industry anything but “inhumane” when you consider that on dairy farms, cows are artificially inseminated and forced to give birth, only to have their beloved babies torn away from them so the milk that nature intended for them can instead be consumed by humans. Both mother cows and their calves are emotionally traumatised when forcibly separated from one another. The mother cows bellow in desperation, and their calves bawl in distress. They cry out for each other for days – in vain.

The male calves – often referred to as “by-products” – are either shot at birth or destined to become veal. The female calves, like their mothers, face a lifetime of repeated forcible impregnation and anguish over their stolen babies. Their bodies are strained to the limit in order to squeeze out every last drop of milk. Today, British cows typically produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally in order to feed their calves.

Live together like brothers and do business like strangers
