Ok. Well I don't have a WSJ acct. Can you inform us as to what happened next, and/or why this is a news event now?
One trick is to take the title of the WSJ article and do a google search. The whole article will usually then come up.
There is a case before the supreme Court to hear decide a case about the raisin board. That’s why it’s in the news. I fully expect a lot of weasel words in the eventual opinion, and that ultimately the government will be given the right to plunder at will, yet again.
Screw the WSJ!!
Here’s a link that’s very comprehensive! What is happening to these farmers is a national disgrace.

And I am betting we have dozens of “Ag Boards” diddling this commodity or that, pocketing “ the gains” and not paying back the farmers.
