Dive Summary:

• As several states continue their perpetual debate over the sale and transport of raw milk, the Iowa raw milk bill has been struck down for the fourth year in a row.
• The bill (actually bills in this case), would have made it legal to sell raw milk "on the farm," a practice dating back to our very beginnings.
• Unfortunately, several lobbying groups, including the Iowa dairy industry, are opposing the bills, hence the lukewarm reception and continual disappointment of supporters.

From the article:

For the fourth year in a row, attempts in the Iowa General Assembly to make legal on- the- farm sales of unpasteurized milk and milk products have ended in failure. Legislative experts in Des Moines say all raw milk bills, including House Bill (HSB) 131 that also sought to allow raw milk farmers to deliver to consumers in town, are dead.
