The Michigan Dept. of Agriculture last year forced Joe and Brenda Golimbieski, the owners of Hill High Dairy and Jenny Samuelson, the owner of My Family Co-op, to dump 248 gallons of organic milk and destroy 100 dozen eggs along with fresh cream, butter and cheese after accusing them of “selling food without a license.”
Their farm is a co-op, however, where people must buy shares to obtain food. The MDA stated that their contracts were invalid so the food wasn’t ‘shared’, but ‘sold’.

I like this genius plan. instead of say, a fine to make up for taxes they feel have been avoided, why not just completely destroy all the produce? waste thousands of pounds worth of food people expected to get, and get nothing in return for not only the citizens hard work but for your own workers who are now spending time breaking eggs in a field. good job Michigan.
Shoot to kill.
Sickening, I would never live in Michigan.
governments destroy capital that’s what they do.a worthless bureaucrat who thinks too highly of himself probably ordered this.

“This is a bit heavy-handed, but is the answer not to get a license and stop arguing?
It is not hard to envisage some clod-ffoted townies setting up a weekend co=operative “farm” with no idea of what to do, and end up killing all their kids with an overdose of pesticide or something.
Most laws have a fairly benign reason for exiting.”
