I am strongly opposed to increasing the regulatory power of VADACS over home
cheese makers and milk producers. I encourage the inclusion of an exemption
in these regulations which would allow the part-time home producer to sell
directly to consumers without restriction. These proposals would do 1 of 2
things:

1#put small producers out of business and discourage new entrepreneurship

2#contribute to the widespread "blackmarket" in home produced product. If
the state has a concern, it seems they would want these producers to be
above board and paying sales tax, and having herd inspections for TB and
brucellosis which of course they will not do if these regulations are passed
and there is no accomodation for their business.
