Dairy's role in Wisconsin’s economy
Take a drive through Wisconsin and you’re bound to see some cows. We love our milk and cheese here, and we’ve clearly earned our nickname of “America’s Dairyland.” We talk about how the dairy industry affects the state’s overall economy, and hear about life on the farm today.
