Wisconsin DATCP Orders Suspension and Fines Against Walworth County Dairy Farm Over Raw Milk Sales Dispute

Wisconsin DATCP Orders Suspension and Fines Against Walworth County Dairy Farm Over Raw Milk Sales Dispute

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), a state agency under Gov. Tony Evers, has ordered a licensed Grade A dairy farm in Walworth County, Grassway Organics, to cease operations or face significant penalties. Dairy farmer Chaz Self and his wife Megan, who operate Grassway Organics, are accused of illegally selling raw milk. DATCP is seeking a $10,000 forfeiture, an additional $50 per day in fines, and a suspended license until a hearing scheduled for May 2027. The farm's business model involves distributing raw milk to individuals they describe as bona fide owners of the operation, not retail customers. While Wisconsin law permits part-owners of a dairy farm to consume the farm's raw milk, it prohibits direct sales to the public. DATCP contends that purchasing a farm share solely to obtain raw milk constitutes a sham ownership and an illegal sale, a claim Grassway Organics disputes, arguing their members are genuine owners under an exception that the state has never...

Wheatland Residents Continue Opposition to Battery Energy Storage Site as Proposal Moves to State Commission

Wheatland Residents Continue Opposition to Battery Energy Storage Site as Proposal Moves to State Commission

A proposal for a controversial 200-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS) in Wheatland, Wisconsin, has been formally submitted to the state Public Service Commission (PSC) by Robin Energy Storage LLC. The project, planned for 60 acres north of Highway 50 and New Munster near an existing power substation, includes 200 BESS containers with provisions for future expansion. This move follows the rejection of the project at both town and county levels, making the PSC route the developer's primary option for approval. Local opposition, led by Jenny Morehouse, remains strong, citing concerns about fire and environmental hazards. Public sentiment against the project has been evident in past meetings, with a packed Town Hall meeting in January overwhelmingly opposing the proposal, leading the Plan Commission to reject three of four actions and Robin Energy to withdraw its local application. Kenosha County and several municipalities, including Bristol, Paddock Lake, and Pleasant Prairie, have already passed o...
