Wisconsin Dairy Farmer has just received a letter with new regulations that must be followed or farmers can no longer sell their milk
The new requirements are to meet climate net-zero ESG goals

The new requirements are to meet climate net-zero ESG goals “Letter in the mail from their milk processing plant that states that they are updating their sustainable agriculture policy — and I already got a phone call from the people that are collecting the information that is required for your dairy farm. It starts out by saying that we understand that this might feel like another requirement, but it’s not because it’s an industry-led effort to recognize and measure the sustainable practices you’re already doing every day. Your participation helps shape the future of dairy farming in ensures your voice is part of the solution. So I laugh at this because it is voluntary if you want to sell your milk because if you don’t participate in this, the milk processing plant will not be able to take your milk because the people that are above them, the actual sellers like Nestle and Danone and all the other big food giants will not allow the milk processing plant, to take your milk. Now it feels like blackmail, but according to the definition of blackmail, it is not blackmail.
But if you don’t participate, you can’t sell your milk” “hey need to know herd data, nutrition data, energy data, in terms of total terms of natural gas, total gallons of diesel. Now mind you, this is for a whole year. Total gallons of propane, total gallons of biodiesel, and total kilowatts of electricity for 12 months. Yep, voluntary, totally….” The request focuses on annual farm-level data for a full year to calculate metrics like carbon footprint, energy efficiency, and overall sustainability performance. Common categories include: • Herd data: Herd size, milk production (e.g., total pounds or cwt of milk), number of cows, possibly reproduction or health metrics to estimate feed efficiency and enteric methane. • Nutrition/feed data: Ration details, feed ingredients, intake amounts—to assess nutrient use efficiency and emissions from feed production/digestion. • Energy data (as you noted): • Total natural gas usage (e.g., for heating or drying). • Total gallons of diesel (e.g., for tractors, equipment). • Total gallons of propane. • Total gallons of biodiesel (if used). • Total kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for 12 months (e.g., milking, cooling, ventilation, lighting). These inputs feed into tools that estimate GHG emissions This is an industry-led effort through programs like the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy’s Net Zero Initiative This is how they shut down small farmers
- The inmates have taken over the insane asylum, and they are writing the rules. Farmers in Europe are told to stop using Nitrogen because that is pollution. Nitrogen is 79% of the air we breathe and there is no way that small farmers could impact that. It is all about controlling people by controlling the food supply. – Michael S
- Doesn’t that defy current US federal law? I thought we were, nationally, out of that UN/WEF b.s.
- So the USA government is still going forward with the Climate Change Hoax Bullshit! How the NWO WEF are destroying the Natural World with their bullshit regulations with the help of USA Con-gress!
Didn’t Trump order all of the Departments to dump the NWO UN Climate Change bullshit Agenda?
- This isn’t sustainability—it’s corporate gatekeeping disguised as environmentalism. Forcing farmers to hand over granular operational data just to sell milk isn’t “industry-led”; it’s a shakedown by multinationals like Nestlé hiding behind climate virtue signaling. The Innovation Center’s Net Zero Initiative might as well be a Trojan horse for consolidating dairy under ESG-aligned conglomerates. Small operations get crushed under compliance costs while Big Ag tightens its grip. Meanwhile, the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program proves real support means direct aid without ideological strings—$12B to offset trade retaliation losses, not invasive audits about propane usage. If Washington actually cared about farmers, they’d crack down on this bureaucratic compliance theater instead of letting processors act as enforcement arms for globalist climate goals. Milk shouldn’t require a sustainability passport. This is regulatory capture by corporate cartels, not conservation. – Dogeaitx
They doing it in our faces even with Trump in the White House
- This is deliberate destruction of independent agriculture. “Climate goals” as cover to consolidate power over food supply. Democrats don’t want family farms, they want dependency. Track your diesel today, lose your land tomorrow. The same clowns crying “save the family farm” designed its execution. Traitors to rural America. – Miron G
- I grew up on farm and drink warm milk from the cow, never got sick. Cow gives milk perfectly healthy, it’s the factories that keep milk for days before it’s distributed to the stores that spoils the milk. We need fresh milk not processed. Get steel cans and start delivering to us
