From Wiki: The Land O'Lakes indigenous woman, named Mia, holding the butter box was painted in 1928 by Brown & Bigelow illustrator Arthur C. Hanson.[23] According to Land O'Lakes, the original image of Mia was "simplified and modernized" in 1939 by Jess Betlach and has undergone many minor modifications since as the enduring logo of the co-op. Red Lake Ojibwe artist Patrick DesJarlait updated Mia's image in the 1950s.

Yet another unemployed minority worker. I imagine that both Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima are getting a little concerned over their long term employment prospects.

Yes, but one would think some perspective is in order.

Less than 1% of US citizens have this virus. It's still not real for many people.

What y'all may not be aware of, is that Land O' Lakes is currently having big problems. Their co-op of farmers are pouring milk down the drain, because of decreased demand for dairy products.

Well aware. It's a distribution problem, not actually demand.

The farmer probably doesn't care. He just knows he can't sell his milk.
The next step is to thin the herd.
For those who have the land and live closer to a dairy, there is not much market for feeder calves right now. Might be a good time to buy a day old bull or two. You'll have to bottle raise them, of course.

Right but it also means there's a solution, which is hopeful. Folks are already trying to connect farmers with new customers. It's just not happening fast enough.

Nothing is going to happen fast enough. And this is the private sector.
Imagine the government...
