Has any oneheard about the buy out of dairy cows by the government

I have gotten a few emails and seen it on a blog or two and on craigslist. Supposedly the government is forcing the dairy farmers to sale their cows for meat due to the high cost of feed, and fuel. I have not found news articles covering it that much but alot of talk on line about it. They say that the beef industry would take a hit too because it would flood the market with older cows for food. And the homesteading people could not buy a milk cow due to high prices and milk would go thru the roof.

I have read several articles that say most old and done with dairy cows are used in fast food meat. McDonalds and Wendys were both listed.

Hubby swears Mcdonalds puts earth worms in their meat to bring it up to standards. I tell him there is nothing wrong with it just him lol. He would rather eat the mystery meat chicken nuggets from there. They said with all the meat on the market that beef meat prices will go down and that the milk and dairy will go way up and the dairy cow will only be for the truley rich to afford for right now
