While Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin cannot invest in physical brick and mortar buildings, they can invest in the people that populate that building. That's exactly what's happening at the Center for Dairy Research on the UW-Madison campus.
Ken Heiman, owner/operator of Nasonville dairy in Marshfield, served on the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board for more than 15 years. He shares his board experience with Pam Jahnke, and also reveals the tremendous asset that the Center for Dairy Research is for Wisconsin's dairy food industry.
Heiman says from the cheese plants that partner with CDR to develop new receipes, to the dairy farm that wants to begin offering product at the farm - CDR is an important element in finding success.
