Melvin Sager of Elizabethtown R3 holds a Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture raw milk license. He says only two other county dairymen belong to the Raw Milk Association, with more licensed sellers possibly operating without pasteurization. Sager received his license June 2, 1959 after years of inspections and hearings, noting strict regulations require on farm sale and on site delivery only. He spent over 1800 dollars for the process and emphasizes compliance to the letter.
