It’s always heartening to see law enforcement stand up for the American people instead of the federal government.
For just under a decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been hounding David Hochstetler, a raw milk producer based in Indiana. Hochstetler first came to the agency’s attention when several instances of illness were tied to consumption of his milk in 2007.
Although the absence of additional incidents of illness following consumption of Hochstetler’s raw milk would indicate that his company fixed the problem, the FDA continues to treat him as a crook and his business as a criminal enterprise, barging onto his farm and demanding to inspect the premises without so much as a warrant.
The FDA’s repeated excursions to Hochstetler’s property has provoked someone to stick up for him. Fed up with the agency’s attempted searches of the farm, Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers informed the FDA that he would place it’s agents under arrest if they were to encroach on Forest Grove Dairy again.

The 1930’s called, and they want their hysteria back…
As someone who has hauled bulk milk its almost impossable to say what milk came from what farm You go from one farm to the next in a big tank truck picking up milk and its mixed with the next farms eather on the truck or at the base tanks The usda inspects dairys at differant times to allow you to be on the sale list but all milk has to be at the prossesors in 24 hrs
Well he can now. Trump has his back. Obama didn’t.
Good for him. We need people like this looking out for each other.
The FDA doesn’t need a warrant to do any kind of inspection (USDA rules)
