Organic Security

The story of the Dairy State’s Krusenbaums is detailed this week in a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which says that while Wisconsin is “home to 659 certified organic operations and one-third of the nation’s organic milk cows” that makes up only 2 percent of the state’s totals. Still, the piece argues that organic milk is growing in demand, with the Whole Foods and Wal-Marts of the world increasingly eager to offer organic to customers. This may mean some family farm security for Sue Krusenbaum, a third-generation farmgirl whose organic dairy and beef farm draws the curious from far flung India and China and academics from the University of Wisc.-Madison.
