What's For Dinner?

Peter Carstensen: Peter Carstensen is a lawyer and professor of Law at the University of Wisconsin who teaches, testifies and writes about antitrust and competition. He co-authored an amicus brief for the Bowman v. Monsanto case heard on 2/19/13, and served as a panelist at the DOJ/USDA Madison, WI, Dairy hearing. Peter describes in concrete terms why concentration of buying power in the hands of only a few large coops or processors distorts prices and means growers (ranchers or dairy farmers) receive low prices. He also discusses the dairy settlements against Dean Foods and Dairy Farmers of America.
