More than $32 million in dairy farmer generated funds are managed by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin (DFW).  Headquartered in Madison, DFW focuses on enhancing the value of all Wisconsin produced dairy products.

Ultimately the goal is to return those dairy invested dollars back to the farm gate.

Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin connects with farmers and consumers to take them behind the curtain of marketing, analytics, and consumer trends to try and show them the value generated on their behalf.

This program is sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.

Here in Wisconsin, beer is something we know and love. But you can’t have flavorful, aromatic beer without a very important specialty crop -- hops! August is a busy time of year in the hop yard. This is when the cones come off the vine and go to the brewery. But it’s more complicated than that. Today we’re heading to Four Winds Farm in Fitchburg with the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association. Farm Manager Joey Dunscombe tells us what it takes to grow and harvest hops.
