The USDA found illegal levels of drugs in cows they tested last last year. The FDA is planning to follow up by testing the milk from the dairies that those cows came from, but that hasn't happened yet. Meanwhile, the Idaho Legislature recently passed laws to restrict the public's right to know about certain aspects of agricultural operations. What questions do these developements raise for you? What do you want to know?
