APPLETON (NBC 26) â Dan Hinz is a fourth-generation dairy farmer.
âThis is my life, he said. Every day, Iâm out here feeding the cows, taking care of them, and every day itâs something different.â
Hinz, chairperson of the Winnebago County Dairy Promotion Committee, has faced all kinds of challenges over the years. The COVID-19 pandemic has made things especially unpredictable, he said.
âItâs still been a roller coaster ride for prices, and markets have been real volatile, said Hinz. Feed prices have gone up drastically and milk prices have been bouncing all over, up and down. Itâs still been crazy times.â
Celebrate Wisconsin s dairy future this June
Randy Romanski
In Wisconsin, June Dairy Month is certainly something to celebrate. Wisconsin’s economic future and the long-term vitality of the state’s dairy industry are intricately linked. Governor Tony Evers has made continued investment in our dairy industry a priority through his biennial budget proposals and a call for a legislative Special Session in 2020 to support dairy processing and increase dairy exports. He has also encouraged the preservation of our rural communities through efforts like the Blue Ribbon Commission on Rural Prosperity. The Governor recognizes the importance of dairy to Wisconsin’s heritage and economic well-being. I am proud of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection s (DATCP) work to serve as a resource to this critical industry as it looks to the future.
