A state farm organization is crediting U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin for using her position on the Senate Ag Appropriations Committee to secure $22 million in support for Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives in the omnibus spending package approved by Congress this week. The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association says the allocation represents a funding increase of $2 million over the previous year. Senator Baldwin first secured support for the creation of the Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives program in the 2018 Farm Bill, and she has fought for every dollar, every year since, to maximize its impact, said WCMA Director John Umhoefer. We are deeply grateful for her focus on strengthening the dairy industry from farm to vat, and beyond.
