Comments
This bill is desperately overdue. As it is now, I cannot sell my neighbor a gallon of milk from one of my two healthy cows, even if he is standing under her with a bottle as she is being milked. Thank you so much, Del.Morris, for a bill that is just common sense.
Does this happen in other states? Any problems?
