The ninth annual “Plant a Seed” campaign supporting Dairy’s Foundation officially launches on Feb. 1, bringing the dairy community together to invest in education, sustainability and outreach programs that move the industry forward.
The 2026 campaign goal is $70,000 with every dollar going directly to programs that develop dairy leaders, strengthen on-farm skills and build stronger connection between dairy producers and their communities.
Donations can be made online at www.DairyFoundation.org or in person at the 2026 PDP Business Conference, March 4-5, at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.
Three industry heroes – Pipping Concrete, Grassland Dairy Products and Mullins Cheese – have stepped up as campaign champions to match donations made by individuals, farms and businesses during the campaign.
“Supporting dairy education has never mattered more and we appreciate the leadership of the industry heroes in the 2026 Plant a Seed Campaign,” says Brian Forrest, dairy producer from Stratford, and chair of Dairy’s Foundation board of directors. “Programs supported by Dairy’s Foundation prepare today’s dairy farmers for what’s next, inspire future leaders and help consumers better understand where their food comes from.”
