New York Times - 2/8/2012.

By Julia Moskin – Silent in flannel shirts and ponytails, farmers from Saskatchewan and South Dakota, Mississippi and Massachusetts lined the walls of a packed federal courtroom in Manhattan last week, as their lawyers told a judge that they were no longer able to keep genetically modified crops from their fields.

Portland raw milk sales will need no warnings
Portland Press Herald - 2/7/2012.

By Dennis Hoey – Portland: Dairy farmers will be permitted to sell raw milk at the city's farmers markets without having to warn customers about its potential health risks. After a long discussion, the City Council voted Monday night not to amend the city's Farmers Market Ordinance to require vendors to display a placard and provide handouts to consumers detailing the risks of unpasteurized milk.

TreeHugger - 2/6/2012.

By Sami Grover – This video from Undercurrents showing how to sustainably tap birch sap is so cool. It reveals a simple, safe and time-tested tradition for obtaining a nutritious "energy drink" from a common tree.

Kennebec Journal - 2/5/2012. By Beth Quimby – Fairfield: Lisa Sandy is getting a lot of phone calls these days.
