Ag Informer – Raw Milk Safety Seminar

In response to questions from producers and the industry surrounding the raw milk legislation signed by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on May 11, the dairy team with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will hold a webinar, called “Raw Milk for Human Consumption: Issues to Consider.” The webinar will be held on July 12, from 6-9 p.m. CDT.

This free webinar will be geared toward dairy producers and potential producers interested in the new rules surrounding raw milk sales in Iowa.

Attendees will learn about these new rules and regulations as well as how to manage raw milk risk and best practices for sample collection of raw milk.

Interested producers and potential producers are encouraged to attend the free webinar by pre-registering at least one hour prior to the program at https://go.iastate.edu/SIHLB6.
