Clueless Wisconsin Democrats Mock Farmers for 'Pride Month'
Raising the cost of agriculture without understanding the consequences is a lot of bull.
From the party that brought you boys in girls' bathrooms: Milking bulls.
In case you missed it, Wisconsin Democrats posted a meme for June Dairy Month featuring two horned bulls with strategically placed clouds covering their hind quarters—the udder-zone for females. It could have been an honest mistake—but the clouds were intentional, so more likely it was a nod to June Pride Month. Get it? Boy bulls that identify as girl cows—har, har.
Yeah, no. Wisconsin Democrats look stupid. No one got the joke, and within hours they swapped out that bullroar for a meme clearly made by a vegetarian—cows with udders standing under grilled T-bone steaks flying overhead with angel halos and wings. Get it? The bulls are dead. Your criticism killed them. They are in heaven now.
Democrats don't get farming, and that problem costs everyone who eats. Farming is serious business. The world's population is growing, and more people means more food must be produced. But the number of farms shrinks each year, and once they are gone, they are gone for good. In 2000, Wisconsin had 77,500 farms. Today it has 58,000 farms.
When production costs go up, so do food prices. Yet Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers recently added to the cost of farming.
"He added additional tax to having cattle . . . and it was outrageous," Wisconsin Assemblywoman Lindee Brill (R) told Restoration News while walking through some cackling chickens in her Sheboygan County yard. "Because our governor has the rulemaking authority with the agencies, he can do things without legislative approval in our state, which is insane."
Fee increases proposed by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, (DATCP) raised the cost of transporting and auctioning livestock up to 1,700 percent according to Wisconsin Public Radio. For example, a license fee for certain animal markets would have jumped from $420 to $7,430.
That's Not How to Lower Grocery Prices
Republicans tried to combat that rate hike with Senate Bill 622, which would've limited price hikes by putting those cost decisions in the hands of the legislature instead of unelected bureaucrats. Evers vetoed the bill in May, and the steep increases were set to go into effect in 2027, conveniently only after Evers leaves office. However, the agriculture industry pitched a fit and the DATCP retreated somewhat, increasing fees by smaller margins.
Wisconsin farm fee changesRepublican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany, who grew up on a dairy farm in Elmwood, Wisconsin, says he would sign Senate Bill 622.
"If the Democratic Party of Wisconsin cannot tell the difference between a dairy cow and a bull, how can we expect them to understand the impact rising costs and burdensome regulations are having on Wisconsin farmers?" Tiffany told Restoration News. "Some of these same politicians tried to increase livestock auction barn fees by nearly 1,700 percent. They clearly do not understand how agriculture impacts everyday life in Wisconsin, from the food on grocery store shelves to the meals served in restaurants and the thousands of jobs connected to farming. As governor, I will lower costs, cut burdensome regulations, preserve our farmland, and protect Wisconsin agriculture for the next generation."
A lot of folks forget that literally everything you eat comes from the complex web of agriculture that starts on a farm.
Looks like @WisDems could use a Dairy 101 refresher after posting bulls for Dairy Month.

Hay harvested from the field feeds cows. The farmer tends the herd. The veterinarian and the farmer both tend the herd's health. The milk truck collects the fluid from the farm and transports it to a processing plant where milk is either bottled or crafted into cheese, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, coffee creamer, cottage cheese, butter or a host of other products.
From there, products are packaged and transported to retailers, restaurants, prisons, schools, and nursing homes, before ultimately landing on your plate. Every agriculture commodity has a similar stream, from farm to table: Beef, chicken, pork, corn, potatoes, cranberries, apples, lettuce, and of course in Wisconsin—ginseng.
Yet for some counterintuitive reason, Democrats look upon farmers with disdain. Maybe none of them eat. They see bull biscuits and soil erosion as environmental threats, forgetting that no one is more interested in the environment than the farmer who wants to maintain rich, healthy soil so his land will still produce crops centuries into the future. Farmers spend millions of dollars managing these things, one reason their profit margins are pitifully slim.
Democrat Socialists like to talk about fake "existential threats" such as global warming, but when they vote to raise costs they fail to protect the enormous agriculture industry and its many jobs— from welders who repair augers in the field, to agronomists analyzing soil health. Weakening agriculture is a genuine existential threat to the nation, and it is exactly what socialists who hate capitalism want to do. They envision government-run grocery stores and businesses such as farms and food processing plants to be owned by worker cooperatives or the government.
While Democrats joke about farming and focus on 'pride month,' Republicans are getting things done. President Donald Trump's trade negotiations have opened new global markets for agriculture. China will purchase at least $17 billion per year of U.S. agricultural products in 2026, 2027, and 2028. China has resumed imports of poultry from the U.S. and appears ready to lift suspensions of U.S. beef facilities. Trump has reduced the agriculture trade deficit by 42 percent, from $50 billion in Jan. 2025 to a current forecast of $29 billion.
We must do everything possible to ensure farmers, and the enormous agriculture network they support, can make enough profit to continue operating.
