This seems to be a direct result of the Feds government regulators culling large swathes of farms during Covid. Many on this board were calling it out at the time.
I asked a few farming frens about if these diseases are real & if they really are as bad as governments claim. I ended up with mixed responses, though over half ended up saying that the diseases do exist & create problems. I should have asked if fear of federal lawsuits & forced shut down played any part in the decision to comply.
None of the farmers (all are independent operators that sell to Co-ops) have been particularly interested in government being involved in their divisions.
