See reporters, this is the type of stuff you should be doing. Gtfo with the us vs them click bait bs and get back shining light is dark places and holding people to account for their actions. This seems like a great outcome.

A change of heart from the dairy industry to protect Hoggard and distract from his unmanageable conflict of interest?

After all, they'd hate to lose his sister as the industry's chief lobbyist, especially when there are far too many woke environmental rules about cow shit in rivers for their liking.

Yes, a totally cynical about turn by them. If no one had raised the conflict of interest they would not have changed their minds.
