Washington Post Series "Harvesting Cash" Continues

Thanks for exposing this. I am a Dairyman and was floored to hear that this B grade powder, intended for protien supplimenting drought struck beef cattle, was sold by low life brokers a grade A. Criminal charges should be brought on every one of these brokers for this lie and blatant misuse of a program/fed money.
