Some of the world's biggest meat and dairy companies, including several with operations right here in Wisconsin, have been making bold environmental promises.
But a new study suggests most of those claims don't hold up.
A report published last month found that the vast majority of sustainability claims made by the 33 largest meat and dairy corporations in the world are simply not legitimate.
Several of the corporations called out in the report have a direct Wisconsin connection, among them Saputo Cheese, Tyson Foods, JBS, Hormel Foods, Dairy Farmers of America, and Nestle.
Gas prices have dropped 23.5 cents per gallon over the last week.
The average price in Wisconsin today landed at $4.13 per gallon.
This is 21.8 cents lower than a month ago, but $1.17 higher than this time last year.
This drop in prices was largely driven by falling oil prices, price cycling, and growing optimism around a potential U.S.-Iran agreement.

Wisconsin Brewing Company received permission from PAPS Brewing Company to brew Schlitz one final time.

The owners of Ridgland Farms previously agreed to surrender their license to breed and sell dogs for research by July 1.

Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports from Amfamfield where it's the Brewers and Giants for game two of the Brewers first four game series of the season last night Milwaukee down two to nothing Exploded for seven runs in the second inning on the way to a 16 to two blowout over the Giants and it all got started when the Brewers Jake Bowers challenged to call and walk instead of striking out Pat Burphy.
challenge by Bowers.
The curve ball down that he challenged?
Yeah, I mean, when you think it's a ball, you challenge it, you get a ball.
I mean, that's a walk instead of an out.
So things change quick, and him doing that could have caused that inning for sure.
