The Dairy Business Association, Wisconsin\u2019s leading dairy advocacy group, was pleased to see a number of actions taken Thursday night by the state\u2019s budget-writing committee that will help the dairy community thrive economically while protecting natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe association appreciates the Joint Committee on Finance for recognizing the important work our dairy farmers do day in and day out to drive a $46 billion part of the state\u2019s economy while at the same time developing innovative solutions to environmental challenges,\u201d Chad Zuleger, government affairs director for DBA, said. \u201cThe agriculture leaders in the Legislature, Sen. Ballweg and Rep. Kurtz, especially deserve thanks for prioritizing the interests of the farming community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noteworthy dairy-related priorities endorsed by the committee as part of the state\u2019s 2023-25 budget:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDBA sees more opportunities for support \u2014 especially related to water quality \u2014 and will continue to advocate for bold action alongside our partners,\u201d Zuleger said. \u201cThe goal is to have water that is clean and farms that are resilient, and Wisconsin needs to keep moving forward with that purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the committee completes its work, the Assembly can make changes to the spending plan followed by the Senate. The full Legislature must agree before sending a budget to the governor, who also can make changes. The goal is to have the budget set by July 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
