Full text for HB3 Talking points Maryland Dairy farmers have lost millions of dollars to PA raw milk producers. The Maryland dairy industry needs to find another way to earn income. Maryland has lost hundreds of dairy farms over the past 20 years. They need another form of income to give them options. There is access to raw milk in 35-40 states. Maryland is behind the curve in access to raw milk. The consumption of raw milk is legal in Maryland. Why do consumers need to cross state lines to exercise a right they have? Access to raw milk can provide other income opportunities for Maryland farmers and small farm prosperity. Raw milk has a good overall track record for safety. Rural economies have been declining over the past few decades. This is a way to strengthen rural economies once again and see them prosper.
