The Presidents of Wisconsin’s top two farmer organizations are working together on a dairy supply management presentation.
Farmers Union President Darin Von Ruden tells Brownfield they presented research by the University of Wisconsin Center for Dairy Profitability Director Mark Stephenson to national leaders, and now along with Farm Bureau, they will share that information at the state level. Von Ruden says, “We’re going to do the same presentation, have Dr. Stephenson come along with and really look at what are some possibilities that could have happened if this would have been a part of the 2014 Farm Bill.”
Farm Bureau delegates have not supported specific supply management systems but have voted to consider them.
