Land O’Lakes is quietly undergoing a brand makeover, removing the iconic Indian woman from its packaging after 92 years.

Land O’Lakes President and CEO Beth Ford said in a statement that the Minnesota butter company is repackaging its products in time for the company’s “100th anniversary.”

“As a farmer-owned co-op, we strongly feel the need to better connect the men and women who grow our food with those who consume it,” Ford said. “Our farmer-to-fork structure gives us a unique ability to bridge this divide.”

A spokesperson for the company told the Post Bulletin the branding shift is to focus on the farmers who make the company’s butter and other products.

The package design that is slated to replace the Native American woman features “Farmer Owned” in large text over the background of a blue lake and pine trees.

Some butter packages show images of farmers working in the field with the words, “Proud to be Farmer-Owned: As a farmer-owned co-op, we stand together to bring you the very best in dairy.”

Land O’Lakes said the updated design is being rolled out on several products, with more to come in 2020.

Ah man... how will the next generation have fun with thr boob flap trick?

Oh no you di'nt!

Yeah, he's a Quaker, too European, too white. Isn't it interesting how these people (libs) always find something to bitch about? Trump offers to help settle illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities and Pelousy and the ‘Rats say he's a racist to do that. What, don't they want those illegals? Isn't that racist (not to want them)? A company tries virtue signaling (diversity) by using an ethnic symbol on their product (Indian woman) and some SJWs go after them for being racist. But if they put a white girl on their label they'd be accused of racism again. Can't win for losing with these people.

I met that guy in a hotel elevator back in the 80s. Had no idea until much later he wasn’t an Indian.

“First Elizabeth Warren, now this.”

I thought Warren was the one portrayed on the butter box....

You really are an idiot.

My 80.5 year old wife, whose maternal grandmother was a full-blooded Iroquois Indian, says: "People involved in this decision need to be scalped... From the waist down..."

[max americana]

So are you moron. Get lost .

I always thought she was hot. PC is destroying our society. Indian butter girl is “bad” but rightly blaming CHINA for a pandemic horror is “racis’” or something.

A mushroom! Georgie turns into a mushroom!

“I suppose their European butter will be just as tasty without the squaw.”

Or how about “Land of Calvary” butter?
