Dairy groups say Wisconsin’s license plate slogan is not expired
A suggestion by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce to remove “America’s Dairyland” from Wisconsin license plates is getting pushback from the dairy industry.
One leader that thinks that’s a bad idea is Professional Dairy Producers Executive Director Shelly Meyer. She tells Brownfield, “Taking America’s Dairyland off of the Wisconsin license plate is about as logical as taking the ‘W’ off of Wisconsin. It’s not only America’s Dairyland, but it’s where the world goes for dairy, for dairy knowledge, for dairy research, and also every Wisconsinite enjoys the benefits of having a strong economy because of the workhorse that the dairy industry in Wisconsin provides.”
Meyer says MWC fails to recognize that Wisconsin’s farmers produce a raw product that is manufactured and sold all over the world, creating jobs and the backbone of Wisconsin’s economy.
