If you read into the story, this cooperative made record errors, didn't cooperate with correcting those errors, were served a C&D, ignored the C&D, and that precipitated the raid.
If they'd been selling across state lines and made the same mistake it wouldn't have been Michigan Dept of Ag raiding them, it would have been USDA FSIS.
When you are selling food and an inspector asks you for your paperwork, you have your goddamn paperwork. And when you're served a C&D, you stop what you're doing and lawyer the fuck up.
Because I guarantee you without any doubts at all that co-op, or their upstream farms, are taking USDA Dairy Margin Coverage money. In that industry, everyone does.
And that, well, sort of implies you're going to cooperate with all the other rules.

none of that is real. it's all fake and gay. it's none of their fucking business what they sell to who.
Well, now, see, that's where you're wrong.
