Ruth Simpson Papers, 1986-1990

Scope and Content Note

The papers deal exclusively with the rBGH issue, and primarily consist of background articles, papers, and reports; some industry literature, including a report prepared for the National Dairy Board by a public relations firm; and documents from Minnesota COACT and other organizations in Minnesota and Wisconsin opposed to rBGH, including copies of research contracts awarded by Monsanto and American Cyanamid for rBGH research at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. There are limited records for Minnesota COACT in the papers; there are no meeting minutes or materials.
