New Rules for Organic Milk Production
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued draft rules for organic
milk production. These rules include a requirement that cows be on
pasture at least 120 days of the year and get plenty of fresh grass.
These rules would hopefully close the loophole that has allowed some
huge feedlots to sell their milk as organic even though their cows
rarely grazed on fresh grass.

Dairy production is one of the most abusive ways of animal
exploitation. Although organic does not necessarily mean less abusive,
every step toward alleviating animal suffering helps us be better
stewards of God’s animals.
