Yesterday California dairy farmers staged a protest at the front door of the California Department of Food and Agriculture office. It's the latest move in a continuing battle to get the CDFA to raise Class 4b prices. “We’re hoping to draw attention to what Gov. Jerry Brown and [California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary] Karen Ross are doing to our milk single-handedly,” Jim Wilson, Hanford resident and Fresno County dairy owner, told The Sentinel.
