Smash: I truly believe that this county's fixation on sanitizing everything is going to come full circle and bite us in the behind.  Anything, and everything, in excess is dangerous in my opinion.  Even the excesses I enjoy!

I grew up on a dairy farm, owned a dairy farm, and as a matter of course drank raw milk. I much prefer the taste of raw milk, 'though I don't make a big deal about how it is better for you, the environment, or anything else. That being said, I will not, would not,purchase a "share" in a cow so that the real owner of that cow could gouge me by charging me eight dollars a gallon for milk that came from "my share" of said cow. Can you say"ripoff"?

No... they can't. That's the problem.

Baraboo, WI—Food sovereignty activists from around North America will meet at this tiny town on March 2 to support Wisconsin dairy farmer Vernon Hershberger and food sovereignty. Hershberger, who has a court hearing that day, is charged with four criminal misdemeanors that could land him in prison for three years with fines of over $10,000. The Wisconsin Department of Agricultural Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) targeted Hershberger for supplying a private buying club with fresh milk and other farm products.

DATCP has charged Hershberger with, among other things, operating a retail food establishment without a license. Hershberger repeatedly denies this, citing that he provides foods only to paid members in a private buying club and is not subject to state food regulations. “There is more at stake here than just a farmer and his few customers,” says Hershberger, “this is about the fundamental right of farmers and consumers to engage in peaceful, private, mutually consenting agreements for food, without additional oversight.”
