After a 10 hour public hearing in Eau Claire last week about raw milk sales, the bill advanced out of a senate committee.

Under the bill, limited raw milk sales would be allowed in the state through 2011. The Senate Agriculture and Higher Education Committee voted Wednesday to advance the bill that allows for the sales directly from a dairy farmer to the customer. Sellers must meet a series of requirements, like getting a special permit, consenting to regular testing and clearly labeling the milk as being unpasteurized.
