Cheese-maker group offers scholarship

The Southwestern Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (SWCMA) has announced that it will offer its 8th Annual Young Dairy Producer Educational Scholarship. This is an individual scholarship to allow a young dairy producer to pursue dairy production educational opportunities.

This year's scholarship amount will again be for $2,000 to further encourage young dairy producers to continue in the dairy industry, and help maintain the supply of milk to area cheese plants.

All students whose Wisconsin-based dairy farm markets their milk to any SWCMA member plant is eligible to apply. A member list is included with the application form. Family members or farm employee family members are both eligible to apply for this scholarship.

Applications are due March 31.
