Maine Dairy Farmers Divided Over Rule Changes on Raw Milk

Maine's dairy farmers are divided over a potential vote this week on a statewide proposal that could change restrictions on raw milk sales. The bill, which would exempt some dairy farms from licensing requirements needed to sell raw milk direct to consumers. It would only apply to farmers who sell to consumers at their farm, and would require the producers to take a sanitation course. The bill has some support among small-time farmers. Many larger farmers oppose the idea because of safety concerns. (AP)
