Dairy Breakfast Season Begins With Nimtz Dairy in Green County

Wisconsin dairy operators are being asked to finish up their 2024 Dairy Producer Survey before the end of the month. DATCP mailed the survey to licensed producers in late May 2024. The survey includes about 30 questions on various topics including herd demographics, management practices, business structure, labor, and future plans. Survey responses will provide insight into industry challenges and opportunities.

Dan Bauer, supervisor of the Wisconsin Farm Center within the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, tells Pam Jahnke that previous survey's have helped guide development of programs and policy for the state's dairy industry.

Bauer said Wisconsin dairy farms are normally very good at returning the survey.  Previous survey's done in 2020 picked up about a 40% response rate.  That survey alone helped launch the Farmer Wellness Program and development of more mental health tools available to farms and their families/employees.

If you misplaced your survey, or never received one, you can contact the Wisconsin Farm Center at 800-942-2474 or email them:  farmcenter@wisconsin.gov.

Dairy Farmers Urged To Finish Dairy Survey - Dan Bauer

The phrase "swarms" is catching attention but it's not about insects, it's about new technology.  Stephanie Hoff talks to Preston Rice from Madison Drones, about the recent approval to use swarms of drones to address challenges in field crops.

There's so many background stories circulating at fairs in Wisconsin.  One special story involves Emmet Saddlery in Hustisford.  They started out supporting local 4-H kids interested in learning leather craft.  They still do that today, including building a very special saddle for a paralyzed farm kid from DeForest.

McFarlanes and Fendt have a special crop tour coming up Aug. 7th focused on how planting technology ultimately impacts yields.  Jacob Leverich with Agco/Fendt, tells Pam Jahnke about the technology.  Paid for by Fendt/McFarlanes.

Even with challenging weather - Wisconsin farmers are looking forward to good yields in their soybean fields.  Dr. Shawn Conley, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist, is looking for entries in the 2024 WI Soybean Yield Contest.  It offers cash incentives and bragging rights to the growers and their seed partners.  For Conley, it offers up great data for future research projects.  Paid for by the WI Soybean Checkoff Program.
