On Thursday I went to Sacramento to cover dairy producers' rally on the steps of the state Capitol for fairer milk pricing, which you can read about here.
In the photos, from the top: Corey Schortzmann, Brittany Day, Jami Lady, Julia Lady and Allison Inlow of the Dairy Club at Fresno State University talk before the rally; dairy producers Corey Vanderham of Hanford, Calif., and Willemina and Rob Van Grouw of Visalia, Calif., stand with signs; Van Grouw uses a sign to shield herself from the sun; People stand with signs; and Gary Van Ryn of Visalia talks about the struggles his dairy is having.
California's milk price regulation system and its shortcomings are a complicated issue, and the Capital Press' Carol Ryan Dumas does an excellent job of laying it out here, as does the AP's Gosia Wozniacka with this story. The dairy rally website is here. For the state's explanation of how milk pricing works, go here.
