The Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) has recently brought to our attention that the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is revising many of its dairy regulations, including regulations for raw milk. These revisions mostly involve lower limits on how much bacteria is acceptable in the milk, and increasing the number of tests per year on raw milk. Though the changes are not extreme and are only meant to help the consumer, the PDA is only allowing a 30 day public comment period (August 1st through 30th) for these new changes; August is already one of the busiest months for farmers, and to only have 30 days during that time to wade through a dense document that could have quite an impact on the way they produce their product is quite a lot to handle.

Brian Snyder, Executive Director of PASA says, "...first and foremost, we are asking that all of you who can do so at this time please contact PDA and the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC), insisting that the public comment period for the new Dairy Sanitation regulations be extended to 90 days, beginning August 1, 2009. This needs to be done especially on behalf of all those farmers who do not have internet and email accessibility, and will be counting on us to buy them some more time!" PASA is taking the lead on this issue; we put our full support behind them and encourage anyone with questions to read their alert: http://www.pasafarming.org/news/pasa-news?NWS_ID=d13d1fe8-0928-4332-af25-13b2dd414eff
