What’s the Dairy Hub-bub?

I recently visited the Dairy Innovation Hub (DIH) operations at UW-Platteville for an update on their projects and progress.  As you may recall, I led a legislative effort to fund the DIH in the 2019-21 state budget. This innovative idea was developed by the Dairy Task Force 2.0 and is a top priority for dairy and agriculture in Wisconsin to remain a dairy superpower.

WISCONSIN CHEESE MAKERS ASSOCIATION DAIRY PILOT PLANT

State leaders from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation visited the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Dairy Pilot Plant to see firsthand how the renovated plant will help cultivate the next generation of dairy processors. WCMA is a supporter of this important project, and of investing in the future of the dairy industry.
