“My Dairy Business Innovation Initiative has helped Wisconsin dairy farmers, producers, and cheesemakers grow their operations, tap into new markets, and innovate new products,” said Senator Baldwin. “Traveling the state, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of this funding – from helping a local cheese processor triple production to adding value to a seventh-generation dairy farm. Today’s announcement is exciting news for Wisconsin – allowing more dairy businesses get the resources they need to grow our economy and continue Wisconsin’s legacy of America’s Dairyland.”
Senator Baldwin first secured funding for the four DBII centers as part of the 2018 Farm Bill. The DBIA offers product research and development, technical assistance, education, and grants to dairy farmers and processors in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The current DBIA grant period is open now through October 23, offering grants of up to $100,000 each to small and medium-sized dairy businesses. More information is available at cdr.wisc.edu/dbia.
