...I'd think raw milk poses a risk for dairy farms.
My dad was a milkman, so I've been inside several dairies.
Even back in the day, it was easy to avoid exposure to raw milk. There are no open vats. Everything is in sanitary piping systems. Only at the fill line is it exposed to air, and by then it's pasteurized.
The people running milking machines, on the other hand, would be easily exposed.

I just skimmed through the replies, don't see any recommendations. I'd recommend keeping them

A worker could unknowingly spread the virus throughout an entire herd and take it home with them.

I'm aware of that. I'm speaking to the different mitigation techniques.
