Bill would raise quality of milk in Congress debate
Ed Coughlin of the National Milk Producers Federation spoke to about 100 local dairy farmers about a dairy bill moving through Congress. The measure would slowly reduce federal price supports for nonfat dry milk, butter and cheese while boosting nonfat solids in fortified milk and expanding export potential. The bill also aims to eliminate a federal assessment, potentially returning $170 million to dairy producers annually, but faces broad opposition and possible revisions before passage.

Officials OK demolition of 19th century farmstead
Frederick officials informally agreed to demolish a 19th century farmstead to permit commercial development after a petition to annex the Lynch property on Liberty Road and Trading Lane. The move followed a recommendation from the historic consultant to save the 2.4 story brick house, which the Lynch family opposed, saying they would relocate and raze it in county hands. The annexation aims to expand Glade Valley Animal Hospital from 2,000 to 7,000 square feet, with new tenants and jobs.
