The University of Wisconsin System is asking for $7 million in the state biennial budget to continue support for the Dairy Innovation Hub. The Hub started in 2019, supporting dairy research at three UW campuses: Madison, Platteville, and River Falls. UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin tells Mid-West Farm Report why the Dairy Innovation Hub is a priority for the campus. Dollars in the state budget go toward supporting research personnel, farms, and labs. The research spans several disciplines related to dairy – protecting natural resources, enriching human health, ensuring animal health, and growing farm communities.
