Dairy Farmers Urged To Finish Dairy Survey - Dan Bauer
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.
