Ruggedly individualistic Michigan farmers had a scunner against the monopoly-like Michigan Milk Producers' Association, through which they sold their milk to Detroit's dairies-Resentful of the Association's sometimes high-handed methods and always complicated formula for buying milk, the farmers were glad to trade $75,000 for one-year promissory notes to help G.I.s.
