The Kansas Senate has approved a bill that would allow on-the-farm sales of raw milk, as long as farmers have a label on the containers stating the product is unpasteurized.  The vote Wednesday was 37-3 and sent the measure to the House.  Kansas has allowed the sale of raw milk for decades, but a 1967 law prohibited framers from advertising its sale outside their farms.  A dairy farm successfully challenged the ban in court, and that led legislators initially to review a proposal to ban raw mild sales.  The State Department of Agriculture instead favored a labeling requirement.
