Referendum Set
(ComtniMtf from Pag* At)
ily of cooperative mem ben to
change their mind between the
time a cooperative petition is
determined and the actual
referendum.
The vote on the National Dairy
Promotion and Research Board
came as a result of a petition drive
organized in the Midwest by the
“Dump the National Dairy Board
Campaign." .
Over time, the organization
compiled enough signatures to
satisfy a requirement that they
show a strong enough percentage
of dairy producers to bring the
question to a referendum.
The movement started because
of anti-BST efforts. BST is an
acronym for Bovine somatotropin
which is a naturally occuring pro
tein hormone that, in a cow, regu
lates the flow of nutrients to the
mammary, and thus the secretion
of milk.
Additional BST in a cow results
in additional milk produced and
several biotechnology companies
have produced synthetic BST
through the use of genetically
engineered bacteria the same
, process used to manufacture most
of the insulin used by diabetics.
Opposition to the use of biotech
nology has been a force in calling
for the dumping of the NDB.
The dairy board, which was
created to promote the safety and
consumption of milk, as well as to

assessment
Hie opposition to the dairy
board arose when the board, in an
attempt to allay public fears about
milk derived from BST-treated
cows (which has for yean been
approved for human consumption
since there is no such thing as milk
without BST and humans have
been ingesting and digesting the
protein), began to direct efforts to
public education about BST.
Those in opposition to BST
started up the Dump the NDB cam
paign and, over time, gained
enough signatures to force the
vote.
In the meantime, the core of the
group which worked to gain signa
tures also filed a class action law

seeking io eliminate the practice of
bloc voting.
According to published reports
102 farmers from 10 states joined
in supporting the lawsuit, for
which a trial is set for Sept. IS.
according to the July 23 issue of
Wisconsin State Fanner.
However, the group sought an
injunction against bloc voting for
the referendum, but that has been
denied by Judge John Shabaz. In
the meantime, the referenduita is to
continue as scheduled.
Eventually, however, should the
suit actually come to a trial (a pre
trial conference is reportedly set
for Sept. 7 to determine whether or
not to dismiss the case), and if it be
found that bloc voting is unconsti
tutional, then the referendum
could be nullified.
