Beginning farms can get help on the Web

Several farm organizations, businesses and state agencies in the state of Wisconsin have pooled their expertise and resources to help beginning dairy producers find the answers to the questions that arise.

Key sections at the site include a: dairy events calendar, dairy resources, farm business, herd health, markets, milk, weather, dairy news and dairy career center.

The Web site, developed by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, is called the Wisconsin Dairy Career Business Development Center. You can find it at: http://producer.wisdairy.com/_devcenter/default.asp
