Wisconsin’s Governor says the state’s Grow Wisconsin Dairy 30-by-20 producer grants are not why some farmers have had to find new milk processors.
Scott Walker says the program has been adjusted more than once because they saw production going up more than what was expected, but the program didn’t lead to excessive dairy production. “The 30-by-20 program wasn’t targeted towards any side effect. Some of the biggest beneficiaries were small farmers, so it’s not set for any particular criteria.
