TOPEKA Kansas legislative council researchers report a multiplicity of milk inspections across Kansas with less duplication than expected. Farms are visited up to 24 times yearly by various inspectors, raising concerns of over inspection in some cases. The study also found that some city fees act as trade barriers to outside milk distributors, though some firms accept the conditions and continue selling milk there. Bills have been introduced previously to address these issues.
