From our partners

    Lee Kinnard
    President | Dairy Business Association

    “The Dairy Innovation Hub continues to showcase why Wisconsin remains a global leader in dairy innovation. As demand for Wisconsin cheese and dairy products grows, we must invest in research supporting growth in all aspects of the dairy supply chain — animal health, economics, nutrition, sustainability, and more. With this commitment, our dairy farms will further strengthen our rural communities and cement Wisconsin’s place as America’s Dairyland.”

    Shelly Mayer
    Executive Director | Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin

    “The Dairy Innovation Hub holds the keys for unlocking dairy’s future. As farmers representing less than 2 percent of the population and feeding 100 percent of the world’s population, we must do more with less. Taking care of our rural communities, natural resources, people, and livestock is just the start of our to-do list. The Hub not only helps farmers work more efficiently, but it also helps every single person in society by uncovering new ways to produce healthy food more sustainably.

    The work of the Hub is now a model that others around the world are seeking. Way to go Wisconsin! Thank you for having vision and for making this smart investment in everyone’s future. It is great to see UW–Madison, UW–River Falls and UW–Platteville work together seamlessly to ensure this critical work happens.”

    Randy Romanski
    Secretary | Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection

    “The Dairy Innovation Hub is strengthening the connections across the three campuses, the agricultural industry, and our entire state by funding important faculty positions and completing valuable research. When we work together, the entire dairy industry is stronger. I am proud that the State of Wisconsin continues to invest in the Dairy Innovation Hub and the future of the dairy industry.”

    Kevin Krentz
    President | Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation

    “The Dairy Innovation Hub has helped create more collaboration between our three agricultural universities which ultimately benefits farmers and rural communities across Wisconsin. The Hub is an investment to attract the best and the brightest dairy researchers to America’s Dairyland. Through areas such as innovation and sustainability, the Hub will help solidify Wisconsin’s dairy communication for generations to come.”

    John Umhoefer
    Executive Director | Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association

    “The Dairy Innovation Hub is reinvigorating dairy research at all levels, from cow care to new dairy products, with the resources to hire a host of new faculty at Wisconsin’s top three agricultural universities. It’s a game-changer because these new faculty are working with mentors on their campuses, and with researchers on other campuses, to build all-new lines of research for the industry. It’s an exciting time for dairy!”
