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

              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.

                  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...

                              My Native American father drew the Land O’Lakes maiden. She was never a stereotype.

                              hat was my thought earlier this month when I heard that “Mia,” as the Land O’Lakes Native American maiden was known, had been taken off the butter box. She was gone, vanished, missing. I knew Mia had devolved into a stereotype in many people’s minds. But it was the stereotype some saw that bothered me.

                              North Dakota state Rep. Ruth Buffalo (D), for instance, told the Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minn., that the Land O’Lakes image of Mia went “hand-in-hand with human and sex trafficking of our women and girls … by depicting Native women as sex objects.” Others similarly welcomed the company’s removal of the “butter maiden” as long overdue.

                              How did Mia go from being a demur Native American woman on a lakeshore to a sex object tied to the trafficking of native women?

                              I don’t know why Land O’Lakes dropped Mia. In 2018, the company changed the image by cropping it to a head shot. That adjustment didn’t seem like a bow to culturally correct pressure. Perhaps her disappearance this year is about nothing more than chief executive Beth Ford’s explanation that Land O’Lakes is focusing on the company’s heritage as a farmer-owned cooperative founded in 1921. But questions remain.

                              Mia’s vanishing has prompted a social media meme: “They Got Rid of The Indian and Kept the Land.” That isn’t too far from the truth. Mia, the stereotype that wasn’t, leaves behind a landscape voided of identity and history. For those of us who are American Indian, it’s a history that is all too familiar.
