Tillamook County Creamery Association generates over $1.2B a year in sales while remaining owned by roughly 80 to 110 dairy farming families in Oregon.
Founded in 1909, the cooperative has never sold to a private equity firm, with profits returned directly to its farmer-owners.
This stands in stark contrast to the wave of private equity acquisitions sweeping through the food.
I only buy Tillamook cheese and ice cream… great company.

The City of Phoenix announces they are preparing for new water restrictions, including charging people who use a lot of water due to a shortage of water
Residents will be on water restrictions, meanwhile Arizona has allowed 24 data centers to be built, with roughly 30 more being planned
Arizona is experiencing a major data center boom
The shortage of water is due to serious cuts to the Colorado river water supply
“The City of Phoenix is anticipating serious cuts to our water supply from the Colorado River — We cannot conserve our way out of the problem of this magnitude.
The Water Services Department announced by the end of the year, Phoenix will likely enter stage 2 of the plan where they will have to use backup water supplies to meet demand. It may include things like additional conservation education, expansion of water audits, incentives and rebates to ensure efficient use of water”
“It could also bring surcharges, meaning if someone uses more water than what they are allocated, they could face additional charges for it.”
But Arizona lawmakers are allowing 30-50+ data centers
Make it make sense
Married couples can give $36,000 a year in gifts without triggering gift tax. You can gift money to your kids, your parents, anyone, completely tax free up to that limit. Wealthy families use this to transfer money across generations quietly every single year. This is legal. This is in the tax code. Most people just don't know it exists.
If I have to pay $7.99 to rent a 30 year-old movie off Amazon when I have a Prime subscription, then we should just reopen Blockbuster. I’d rather have their employees judge my life choices.

Robert F Kennedy Jr shares some exciting news
New technology is being developed that could eliminate the use of pesticides in agriculture
“There's other technology that is emerging right now, I looked at one yesterday. It's a tractor attachment that uses lasers to kill weeds — If they can make that affordable, particularly for smaller farmers, that will be the answer — they can kill bugs and they can kill weeds. You program this thing and it zaps the weeds with a laser. It makes that all the cells explode and it destroys them”
GROUNDED: The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas for the next 10 days.
The government has classified the area as "national defense airspace," and the notification states that deadly force could be used against aircraft violating the airspace if they are deemed to pose "an imminent security threat."
