Raw Milk Proposal Could Return In February

MADISON – Another attempt to change the state law that would allow the sale of unpasteurized milk on dairy farms could be before state officials by February.

That's one possible outcome of the Raw Milk Policy Working Group, which recently met for the last time at the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection in Madison.

The group spent the day discussing and reviewing some of the fine points of the policy recommendations it has worked to compile over the past nine months. The group, appointed by late Secretary of Agriculture Rod Nilsestuen, first met in March.

Gov. Jim Doyle last spring vetoed legislation that would have approved limited raw milk sales.
