The work is just beginning: Countdown to Legal Raw Milk in Wisconsin
It's out of committee. It's being readied to vote on the floor. Then signed by the governor. Exciting times. Nerve wracking times. Time to farm: And I am distracted from the task at hand which is to seed hay, pasture, oats, oats&peas, spread compost, fieldwork, long days. And yet here I am.
The hard work has yet to be done.
How important the next 20 months are - to getting the permanent law we really want - NOW is the time we need to come together like never before - in safety, with pride and confidence.
Wisconsin's Proud Family Dairymen.
We have been, and we will - make all of Wisconsin proud; all the world, when Raw milk becomes legal.
We can do this safely. We can save farms. We can help people.
Stay tuned here. There is certainly more coming. There is leadership, there is more farmers, better farmers, a time like none you've seen before: Happy farmers, happy Wisconsin

Scott, I am curious about this. It is my understanding that you will be only to sell RM if you have the license to sell to, and in fact are sending milk to, the dairy. And then you will only be allowed to do both provided the quantity going to the dairy co-op (or company, where ever it is your bulk milk goes) does not fall below a certain level. So if my understanding is correct, it does at least put you back in business, but is still not a true victory. Am I right?
BTW, my family in Wis. (I am inPa.) *was* getting their milk from you, and loved it! My sister in particular, who lives in Milton, has been very upset and has shown up in support of all of you fighting this fight in Wis. It makes our troubles in Pa. pale in comparison.
Wish you and your family well; I'm wanting to see all back in business, and real freedom restored!
