House Bill 502 in Committee milkpitcherGlass  
Ask Delegates to Support the Dairy Animal Boarding Bill 

Delegate Glenn Glass has introduced a bill that would recognize the right of consumers to obtain raw milk from a dairy animal in which they have an ownership interest when that animal is boarded on a farmer's premises instead of their own property. The bill has been assigned to the Economic Matters Committee.

Dear Economic Matters Committee Members,

 

Please support HB502, the cow-boarding bill. As someone who lives in an area where I cannot keep my own agricultural animals, it is important to me to contract with a farmer to board an animal for me so that I can have the milk from my own animal. This bill is about property rights and about keeping Maryland farms thriving through giving our farmers options for sharing their expertise. Please support this legislation.  

Thank you!
