June is a special month in Wisconsin for many reasons, including the beautiful weather, the end of the school year, and on top of it all, it’s June Dairy Month! Wisconsin’s economy, history, and culture are steeped in an appreciation for all things dairy, and it’s during the month of June that we can be especially thankful for dairy farmers, haulers, processors, distributors, consumers, and everyone who keeps the industry strong in America’s Dairyland.
There are many links in the dairy chain, and during June Dairy Month we take the time to appreciate every link, including processors.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection – Dairy Processor Grant program continues to foster innovation, improve profitability, and sustain the long-term viability of Wisconsin’s dairy processing facilities. In 2024, thanks to investments from Gov.
Evers and the legislature, DATCP funded additional Dairy Processor Grants, with the total of awarded proposals in the millions over the history of the program. Grant dollars support Wisconsin’s dairy processing plants with development in food safety, staff training, plant expansion or modernization, and professional consulting services.
