Those are the "absence labels" which, by claiming they don't have the bovine hormones, imply this milk is better than milk produced by cows which get the hormones. The state Department of Agriculture is looking at advertising claims on milk carton labels and whether the state should join Pennsylvania by banning the so-called "absence labels. Yet there is still the perception that milk from untreated cows is somehow better. But the question is still open on labels which claim the milk in...

On their dairy farm, two brothers oversee the journey of milk from their cows into cartons and finally to corner markets. The first step is to milk the cows. Everyone knows that the milk you find at grocery stores comes from cows. If it's time to bottle whole milk, the first thing that happens once the milk is pumped into the plant is pasteurization. But have you ever thought about what happens to milk from the time it leaves the cow to the time you pour it into your glass? Automatic...

The VVFs report White Lies links cows milk to a large number of childhood illnesses, stating that it is the single biggest cause of food allergies in children.

The SBP has already issued guidelines on livestock and fisheries financing to banks for the diversification of agricultural credit to non-crop sector.

Department of Agriculture will pay the dairy owner the herd s appraised value $20 million to $25 million and related costs, such as shipping the cattle to a slaughterhouse, Culbertson said. The disease, which can be fatal, is commonly spread when an infected cow coughs or snorts and other cattle inhale airborne particles. Bovine TB is considered untreatable, so both infected and non-infected cattle in a herd must be killed. Intensive testing in the area has turned up no new cases since...

I clearly feel that it's a processor plant-driven issue," said Steiner, who milks a herd of 300 cows and sells to Smith's Dairy.

The Senate Agriculture Committee s version of the bill contains several anti-competitive provisions, including a ban on packer ownership of cattle more than 14 days prior to slaughter. This urge to play nanny over the cattle business might be more understandable if the large meatpackers were actually gaining significant control over cattle production. Once upon a time, the 2007 Farm Bill was going to be about free-market reforms that would reward the innovative, entrepreneurial spirit of...
