There’s an AP story today about the progress of a bill allowing raw milk sales in Wisconsin; Raw milk sales should never have been banned in America’s Dairyland, or anywhere else. Adults should be able to decide for themselves if they wish to drink raw milk. The bill still has significant restrictions, but at least it’s a step in the right direction, toward individual choice.
A bill that would allow farmers to sell raw milk moved out of an Assembly committee….Under the measure, farmers who register with state agriculture officials could sell raw milk through the end of next year.
Farmers would have to record each sale and test the milk for disease-causing each sale and test the milk for disease-causing microbes. They would not be allowed to advertise beyond signs on their farms. The signs would include warnings bacteria in the milk could cause disease. The state Senate’s agriculture committee approved an identical bill earlier this month on a 5-0 vote.
