HELP DEFEAT REGULATIONS TO PROHIBIT COW-SHARES IN MARYLAND
All Members May Submit Their Testimonials

The state of Maryland is proposing a an amendment to Section
10.15.06
of the Maryland State code, which would define cow-share agreements
as a
"sale," thereby prohibiting such arrangements.

We are asking ALL members to submit comments on the proposed
regulation. The more letters received, the more effective will be
our opposition.
Cow-sharing could be a boon to both farmers and consumers in the
state.

Comments must be received by May 26, so please write as soon as
possible.

In your subject line please put: Regulation 10.15.06 proposed change
to
Milk Regulations.

Points (some or all) to address in your letter:
The rights of consumers to choose
The double standard that allows the sale of raw oysters, raw
vegetables, etc, but not raw milk
Testimonials about how raw milk provided health benefits to you
and
your family
The rights of Americans to enter into contractual arrangements
The safety of raw milk
The economic benefit to farmers
