One day after his farm is raided and authorities tell him to shut things down a local farmer is still selling raw milk.

He says it's his right and he's risking the penalties.

Vernon Hershberger doesn't know what will happen next and he's very aware he could be in some big trouble.

Nevertheless he's ignoring state orders and reopening his Loganville business.

Today customers were once again lining up to get raw milk and other dairy products from Hershberger's farm despite the fact that yesterday morning the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection got a warrant to search his farm and sealed several coolers, ordering him to stop selling raw milk and close his store.

Hershberger says, "We believe this is our right to do this and we have a lot of families that feel that way. There are a lot of families that will go without food that they need to have for their families if we shut down."

DATCP Administrator Steven Ingham says, "We're not in the business of shutting down farmers and ruining people's lives but we are a public health agency and the public expects us to look after food."

Hershberger also argues that he is only open to members who pay annual fees, not the general public, so he doesn't need a dairy license.

One thing that is important to note is even if Governor Doyle had signed a raw milk bill into law last month Hershberger would have still been breaking the law because he doesn't have that dairy license.

It will be up to the Sauk County District Attorney to determine if any charges are filed.
