Strickland calls ODA dogs off Schmitmeyer

GREENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Gov. Ted Strickland ordered the state Department of Agriculture to stop its effort to prevent a western Ohio dairy farm from supplying raw milk to shareholders.

Strickland told the department to drop its appeal of a judge's ruling that overturned the state's decision to revoke farmer Carol Schmitmeyer's milk-producing license.

Yee-HA!

In related news, Good News, our local advertisement paper, last week printed an ad soliciting sale of raw milk. I was surprised it made it into print, and would be even more surprised if anyone answered the ad. I mean, would you respond to an ad saying "Looking for marijuana farmer to buy fresh homegrown from"?
