No best before date for raw milk case
Written by Jody Johnson - Bayshore Broadcasting News Centre
The case against raw milk farmer Michael Schmidt will be back in court next month.
The court hearing for Micheal Schmidt in Walkerton was adjourned until February 20th.
The Durham area raw milk farmer has been charged with operating a milk processing plant without a licence.
Schmidt did not appear in court today -- but his representatives argued they need more time to gather the evidence against the farmer.
The Crown has listed a number of items -- from notebooks, search warrants and exhibit lists.
Schmidt's lawyers say they would like to move quickly in the case because his raw milk business has been hurt by the seizure of his equipment.
Officers from the Ministry of Natural Resources raided Schmidt's farm in November and seized his equipment.
Schmidt went on a month long hunger strike in protest of the raid.
