CHIPPEWA FALLS -- Senator Tammy Baldwin discussed dairy policy in Wisconsin during a visit to Chippewa Falls.
Baldwin stopped by Triple T Farms to discuss issues affecting farmers and her proposed Dairy Pride Act -- which asks the FDA to enforce laws when it comes to which food items are labeled as dairy products.
One Triple T Farms partner said milk substitutes could confuse customers and may lack the quality of dairy milk.
"The law just needs to be reinforced. I mean, soy milk instead of almond milk? Last time I checked, it's an extract. It took years for the label of milk to develop, and now it is a white-washed term if you will," Tom Bowe said.
While meeting with Baldwin, farmers also shared their hopes for immigration reform and the U.S. negotiating a fair NAFTA deal.
