It’s a movement that started earlier this summer. An effort to help your neighbors facing food insecurity – and hopefully help Wisconsin dairy farm families struggling with nearly historical low milk prices. The “10 Gallon Challenge” is designed to challenge all of us to donate 10 gallons of milk to local food pantry’s – or really any place that can use it.
This week, Wisconsin Ag Secretary, Sheila Harsdorf, challenged the Fabulous Farm Babe, Pam Jahnke, to accept the challenge – which she was happy to do!
Unfortunately today, it’s estimated the state is losing about 2 dairy farms a day to this terrible economic situation. Please accept your version of the “10 Gallon Challenge”!
If you would like to donate directly to a pantry, click here to locate a pantry near you. Please contact the pantry ahead of dropping off your donation to confirm the milk is needed.
Otherwise join us here at the Wisconsin Farm Report Radio Network to help remove more milk from the marketplace – and help everyone in “America’s Dairyland” enjoy fresh milk and dairy products.
