SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - President of the South Dakota Farmer’s Union says a case of Mad Cow disease in Canada affirms the value of country of origin labeling.
Doug Sombke says Canadians are lobbying Congress to repeal COOL. Sombke asks "Do you really want your lawmakers to repeal a law that tells you where your food comes from?"
Canadian regulators last week confirmed a case of Mad Cow in Alberta.
The South Dakota Farmer's Union urges consumers and producers to contact their congressional delegation in support of leaving COOL in federal law.
