This topic keeps coming up over and over, and the support for raw milk usually comes from those that want to make a quick buck by selling milk off their farms, at retail prices, without processors and retail outlets getting a cut from their hard work. The other group are the misinformed and ignorant that believe that there are magical benefits to be had by consuming raw milk. Both groups claim that their freedom of choice is being violated if they are not allowed to do as they wish. Interesting point which often gets overlooked is the simple fact that in a mature and highly structured society, the rights of the majority take precedence over the rights of the few. We see these restrictions all the time, speed limits on roads, building codes, etc. are all examples of basic rules put in place to protect the majority. Similarly the rules around selling pasteurized milk. Milk is the most wonderful carrier of pathogens, and these pathogens can be effectively eliminated by pasteurization. No one can build natural immunity to Ecoli , Tubuculosis, or Listeria, or Brucellosis. All of these can be present in milk, you cannot taste or see these things. And the first people affected will be the very young, and the very old. This is about public health, not about freedom of choice. How would you feel if you knew someone’s child became ill from drinking raw milk from your farm infected with Ecoli. A child could die, or suffer kidney damage, so that you could make an extra $ selling raw milk. Why take this needless risk?

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
