Gov. Tony Evers today kicked off June Dairy Month by highlighting Wisconsin’s dairy industry, farmers and producers. Evers will be visiting with dairy farmers, processors, producers and local community and agricultural industry leaders throughout the upcoming month to promote efforts and investments by the governor and the Evers Administration to support the industry. A copy of the governor’s 2025 June Dairy Month proclamation is available here.
Wisconsin’s dairy industry is a central driver of the state’s economy. It has more dairy farms than any other state in the nation that support an over $50 billion industry and more than 120,000 jobs.
Evers proposed a state budget that invested over $80 million to support Wisconsin’s farmers and agricultural industries, including key efforts to help farmers and producers navigate economic volatility and uncertainty caused by tariffs. The state’s budget committee, however, gutted over 600 proposals, including several of these key investments.
More information on the proposals stripped from Gov. Evers’ 2025-27 Executive Budget is available here.
