FILE-This May 31, 2006, file photo shows organic milk which Cedar Summit Farm bottles and sells organic milk, in returnable bottles at the New Prague, Minn., farm and through upscale grocery stores and food cooperatives in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. A case set for trial next week is expected to test Minnesota's "Buy the Farm" law, which is meant to require utilities building high-voltage power lines to buy out farms in the way if affected landowners demand it. The case pits the developers of the CapX2020 project against Cedar Summit Farm near New Prague, which fills its old-school glass bottles on site and keeps its cows on a 100 percent grass diet. Owners Dave and Florence Minar say they can't properly operate an organic dairy farm under a 345,000-volt power line, so they're trying to use the law to force CapX2020 to buy their farm and pay the costs of relocating their operation.
