That's what's so attractive about all this. We get to use our crops to the nth degree," [Marie Audet] explains. "We have so many inputs that go into growing crops - land, labor, equipment, seeds - and cows eat it, and we gather it on the other end and continue to use it. "We always anticipated the price would keep creeping up," Audet says. "We never anticipated a 50 percent drop." The new rates were good news to CVPS, according to [Steve Costello], which has "two or three" new farms seeking permits to join Cow Power in the next six months, and another dozen or so farms in varying stages of analyses. And, while Cow Power still represents less than 1 percent of the total power CVPS delivers, he says, "Our goal within 10 years is to get to 5 percent, and we think that's doable."

Technically, he's not supposed to sell raw milk except via "neighborly exchange," because Organic Valley's board voted last spring, by arazor-thin margin, to prohibit its member farmers from selling unpasteurized milk as a side business. The decision was based on the cooperative wanting all the* organic milk produced by its members; if they sold raw milk locally, there would be less available for the national supply system, according to the organization's website. Organic Valley is not against raw milk per se. But the policy that went into effect on January 1 put this farmer's family in a bind: Its long-term business plan relied on selling to the cooperative and to local customers.

It was a clear Christmas Eve night in Tennessee. It was not so long ago as you might think, even though Clarabell was just a little calf when it happened. Clarabell was special, even for a Jersey calf. If she weren't special, how then could all this have happened? Jack Frost had come to paint the wide fields in silver and diamonds. Wind whistled through the cracks in the barn wall. The cold made white clouds out of Clarabell's breath.

EAST BLUE HILL, Maine -- Officially, her name is Sprocket. But Dan Brown has a tongue-in-cheek moniker for the 4-year-old cow at the heart of his legal problems with the state of Maine: Troublemaker. Sprocket, it turns out, isn't just part of Brown's dairy operation at Gravelwood Farm, a small family farm on Blue Hill peninsula, but the entire operation. She is responsible for every ounce of milk that makes its way into the Brown family's coffee and cereal. What the Browns don't use, in some cases, is sold as bottled milk, butter and cheese made from raw or unpasteurized milk.

A hallowed rule in housing policy is: If you own a home, you get a tax deduction on your mortgage interest. But a push is growing to sacrifice this sacred cow, and the reasons are disparate. Some people argue that the policy should be changed because it doesn't really encourage homeownership like it's supposed to. Others say the government shouldn't be encouraging homeownership anyway. Some people say the government can't keep giving out such a big tax break when it's facing huge deficits. Others say the policy isn't giving enough of a tax break to lower- income families.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - In order to tell what is going on inside the digestive tract of a dairy cow, there is nothing quite like taking a look. So on a steamy August day inside the research barn at Penn State University, graduate student Chanhee Lee reached into a hole that had been surgically cut into the side of a brown-haired bovine.
