Wisconsin family farms involved in this year’s program include Vision Aire Farms LLC in Eldorado, Synergy Family Dairy in Pulaski and Orthridge Jerseys in Lancaster. Each farm has committed two or three calves to the program and Discover Dairy will assign calves to each participating classroom in fall.
“I had no idea how ’adopting’ a cow this year would be a highlight of our school year! Our class adopted the calf, Reese’s, from the Brey Cycle Farm in Sturgeon Bay.” 5th grade teacher
“My students look forward to learning about our adopted
See what previous educator participants are saying about the hands-on dairy lessons:
classroom that enrolls in the Adopt a Cow program is paired with a calf from a Wisconsin dairy farm. Students discover photos, stories and additional educational information about the calf’s life on her farm, her food, living area, how the farmer cares for her and more. Supplemental lessons and hands-on activities keep the students engaged all school-year-long to explore where their favorite foods come from and gain a deeper understanding of Wisconsin’s $45.6 billion dairy industry. Several lessons follow common CORE standards in Math, Reading and Science.

“We chose to be part of the Adopt a Cow program because we want to connect with students so they can ask questions about dairy farming and its importance to their community,” says dairy farmer Janet Clark of Vision Aire Farms, LLC in Eldorado, Wis. “We believe it is important to share how dairy farmers take care of their animals.”
K-12 educators are invited to register. The program also is ideal for homeschool classrooms, after school and library programs, scout troops, 4-H groups and more. To enroll in the 2022-23 Adopt a Cow program, educators should visit www.DiscoverDairy.com/adopt before the September 15, 2022 deadline.
“It’s fantastic to see educators and students in classrooms across all 50 states and 38 countries experience how dairy farms work, engage with the industry and learn how dairy products reach their tables,” says Karen Doster, the Director of Youth and School Programs at Dairy Farmers of EachWisconsin.Wisconsin

Southwest Wisconsin musicians Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off (PTO) recently released a rst-time, foursong digital collection titled, Keep Truckin’, found nationally on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc. For every download of the lead single, Keep Truckin’, the band is donating the proceeds to support the educational opportunities and dedication of kids participating in Wisconsin 4-H.

Tyce shares more about developing the songs and his decision to give back to 4-H youth.

“The idea began when I was watching how hard the local 4-H kids were working to take care of their cattle at the county fair and as a farmer myself, I was impressed with their dedication and can-do spirit,” says Scotty Tyce, lead singer of PTO. “As I was driving home that evening, the song lyrics began to form in my mind and I wanted to create a song to support

export sales and $1.59 million in anticipated sales one year following the events. Additionally, the initiative provided 16 Wisconsin companies and organizations with more than $377,000 in grants to help expand state agricultural exports. With this now-approved second year of funding, we will be able to build on this momentum by promoting more Wisconsin agricultural products in the international marketplace.
At DATCP, our mission is to partner with the citizens of Wisconsin to grow the economy by promoting quality food, healthy plants and animals, sound use of land and water resources, and a fair marketplace. To accomplish this mission, it is vital that our state invest in programs and initiatives that provide tools to Wisconsin’s agriculture industry. The Governor’s support for these investments do just that, and I am excited to see our agency continue helping Wisconsin’s farmers and agribusinesses plant seeds to grow a brighter future for our state.
MADISON, Wis. Agriculture is one of our state’s greatest assets and, given the right tools, farmers can feed their communities and the world. Gov. Tony Evers is committed to making sure farmers have the tools available so they can innovate and prosper. I appreciate Gov. Tony Evers’ support for the commercial nitrogen optimization pilot program, cover crop insurance premium rebate program, and Wisconsin Initiative for Agricultural Exports (WIAE), which are each critical steps in the right direction for Wisconsin agriculture. Today, the Joint Committee on Finance released funds for these three initiatives, paving the way for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to put those funds to good use.
One of the most valuable parts of Wisconsin’s agriculture industry is the soil and water that are
sustainably cared for by our state’s dedicated farmers. Through various conservation practices, Wisconsin farmers are already leading the way in preserving our soil and water. However, it is critical that we continue providing them with the tools to continue and amplify these practices. The commercial nitrogen optimization pilot program will provide grants to producer projects that optimize the application of commercial nitrogen, while the cover crop insurance rebate program provides eligible farmers with rebates of $5 per acre of a cover crop planted for crop insurance premiums paid on those acres. Together, these initiatives will work together to preserve soil and water resources for generations to come.
For more information on the commercial nitrogen optimization program, cover crop premium insurance rebate program, and WIAE, visit DATCP’s website and sign-up for email updates.

Data suggests that DATCP’s Producer-Led Watershed Protection
Producer-Led Watershed Protection Grants
Grant Program is an effective way to increase the use of conservation practices across farmland. According to DATCP’s analysis, there were 807 farmer members participating in producer-led groups covering 526,846 acres of Wisconsin cropland in 2021. These groups conducted 129 outreach events to fellow farmers and community members, reaching 5,124 attendees on important conservation and water quality topics in agriculture. The groups started and maintained 26 on-farm demonstration and research projects, which help farmers, landowners and agricultural professionals learn and innovate on new soil health strategies and conservation systems.
The total reported conservation practice acres rose to 978,881 acres in 2021 from 798,221 acres in 2020, a 23% increase in total conservation practices. More speci cally, the program saw a 20% increase in cropland receiving cover crops, a 34% increase in acres managed using no-till practices and 46% increase in nutrient management

Since its inception in 2015, DATCP has awarded more than $4.2 million to 41 groups in watersheds across the state. Grant projects have focused on providing conservation education to farmers, conducting on-farm demonstrations and research, issuing incentive payments for implementing conservation practices, organizing eld days, and gathering data on soil health and water DATCPquality.isaccepting applications for the grants through September 16, 2022. Through 2021-2023 budget, Governor Evers authorized an increase to annual program funding. DATCP will award up to $1 million in Producer-Led Watershed Protection Grants in 2023, and eligible groups can receive up to $40,000. Grant information and application materials are available on DATCP’s website and must be submitted to DATCP through email in Microsoft Word.

MADISON, Wis. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has released the 2020-2021 impact report for the ProducerLed Watershed Protection Grant Program, which shows that conservation practices among producer-led groups in the program rose by 23% from 2020 to 2021. These practices help reduce soil erosion and phosphorus loss from farm elds, ensuring that nutrients go into farmers’ crops instead of local soil and water sources.
In Wisconsin, farmers serve as a signi cant economic driver, feed our families, strengthen the ber of our communities, and preserve our rich soil and vital water resources," said DATCP Secretary Randy Romanski. The producer-led program is critical in ensuring a strong future for Wisconsin’s agriculture industry.
With the help of increased funding from the 2019-2021 biennial state budget, producer-led groups again had the opportunity to build strong connections to help address conservation needs in rural areas and protect our state’s water quality and soil health."

2050 Environmental Stewardship Goals
Vision: Dairy is an Environmental Solution
The 2050 environmental stewardship goals build on a decades-long commitment to producing nutritious dairy foods that can sustainably feed a growing global population. According to a life cycle assessment for fluid milk commissioned in 2007, U.S. dairy contributes only 2% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to modern and innovative dairy farming practices, producing a gallon of milk in 2017 required 30% less water and 21% less land and had a 19% smaller carbon footprint than it did in 2007.

The researchers also examined what they call the “downstream” effects of eliminating dairy cows, including land use and sourcing of fertilizers. Pastures used for dairy cows would no longer be used for that purpose. The same goes for cropland that farmers
cites the continuous improvements made by the U.S. dairy industry as an example of its environmental stewardship. On the farm, the environmental impact of producing a gallon of milk in 2017 shrunk signi cantly from 2007, requiring 30% less water, 21% less land and a 19% smaller carbon footprint.
“The ef ciency through which dairy provides us these nutrients would not be possible without cows,” said Katie Brown, EdD, RDN, senior vice president, scienti c affairs and outreach for National Dairy Council. “This study indicates that without cows, there would be a minimal impact to greenhouse gas emissions and a signi cant impact to the availability of essential nutrients needed for human health, such as calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B12.”
use to produce nutritious feed for their cattle. Under some simulated scenarios, synthetic fertilizer production and associated GHG emissions would increase, offsetting the GHG reduction expectations related to the dairy herd Tricaricoelimination.
“The strength of the study is its focus on the trade-off between GHG emissions and supplying nutrients people need to be healthy and lead quality lives. Milk continues to provide a valuable bundle of nutrients while farmers keep reducing GHG emissions per pound of milk produced,” Tricarico said. “It’s the realization that dairy cows convert feed resources unavailable to people into nutritious milk while continuously improving the ef ciency of use of natural resources with the goal to become carbon neutral or better.”
“This idea of removing animal agriculture is being overly simpli ed in many ways, as well as the assumption that nutrients can be easily replaced,” said Juan Tricarico, Ph.D., vice president for sustainability research at the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, which supported the research. “It’s a story that on the surface may sound compelling, but you have to remember that the truth is usually much deeper in terms of all the factors that contribute to an outcome. And, all those factors cannot be understood until they are tested, as this study did.”

Milk production only contributes approximately 1.3% of all U.S. GHG emissions, the researchers say. (By comparison, transportation as an industry in the U.S. accounts for 28% of GHG emissions.) While proponents of the cow elimination hypothesis might suggest plant-based alternatives as an environmentally friendly option to dairy, those foods also generate emissions and come with their own footprint. For example, reallocating land currently used for dairy cow feed to grow fruits
and you also eliminate a great source of accessible, affordable and nutrientrich dairy foods. Americans get more than half of their calcium and vitamin D from milk, cheese and yogurt. Different researchers found that it is not a simple task to obtain essential nutrients found in milk from another single food source, or even many foods, without increasing daily calories – and cost.
A team of researchers from Virginia Tech and U.S. Department of Agriculture recently put it to the test and found that if the dairy herd were somehow removed from the U.S., greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) would only be reduced by about 0.7%, while seriously reducing the supply of various essential nutrients that milk provides.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency notes that runoff poses a signi cant threat to the environment. When runoff occurs, fertilizer, bacteria and other pollutants nd their way into streams, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Sustainable Brands notes that nanotechnology is an ef cient way to deliver nutrients to crops that can improve both the ef cacy of the nutrients and reduce runoff.
According to the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, sustainable agriculture is designed to meet the needs of the present without compromising future generations’ ability to meet their own needs. That’s a worthy goal, especially in the face of a growing global population that the United Nations estimates will increase by two billion persons by 2050.
Sustainable Brands notes that agricultural biologicals are inputs derived from natural materials that have low toxicity. That low toxicity reduces their environmental impact. Agricultural biologicals utilize the properties of such things as bacteria, fungi and even insects to support healthy crops, potentially improving yield without adversely affecting the Sustainableenvironment.agriculture technologies can help modern farmers and their successors meet the needs of a rapidly growing global population.
