Our first date is at a hearing in the Ag and >Markets offices in Albany (10B Airline Dr., Albany) on JAN 17 AT 11AM. >We would love to have an ENORMOUS show of support at this hearing! This >is an administrative hearing at which they are considering ordering us >to CEASE AND DESIST from providing milk to our members. The outcome is >very likely to go against us because even though they haven't a shred >of evidence to prove we are "selling" milk, the hearing officer seems >to be very fearful of going out on a limb against Ag and Markets. She >has already indicated this by her complete unwillingness to postpone >the hearing at the request of our lawyer (he had a personal conflict >with the date). > >The second date is JAN 22 AT 1:30 IN SENECA COUNTY COURT IN WATERLOO, >NY (48 West Williams St.). At this hearing the judge will consider >issuing a temporary injunction against Ag and Markets to keep them from >harassing us until the whole thing is resolved.
