TALKING POINTS

1. Raw milk is a healthy, nutrient-dense food with a good track record for safety.

2. Passage of the HB 267 would enable family farmers to make a better living. Raw milk in other states is often the product that first draws consumers to a farrm, and can increase overall farm sales.

3. HB 467 would increase consumer freedom of choice by allowing raw milk to be purchased and sold.

4. HB 467 would enable independent dairy farms and ranches to make a better living by increasing the products they can sell that consumers want.

5. HB 467 would keep more of the food dollar in local communities with the increase in locally-produced foods consumers can obtain.
