Legislation that would fund Wisconsin’s dairy export program is awaiting the Governor’s signature.
Senate Bill 827 would allow the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to repurpose 880-thousand dollars in unused federal rural development funds to fully fund the state’s new Wisconsin Initiative for Agricultural Exports.
The bill authored by Senator Joan Ballweg and Representative Tony Kurtz had bipartisan support and is expected to get Governor Tony Evers’ approval.
