Farm News: WMMB Still Looking For Dairy FarmerscommentsPosted: 03.08.2011
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) announced today that the nomination period for District 16 of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB) elections will be extended to March 16, 2011. Nominations for all other districts have been closed.
District 16 includes the following counties: Fond du Lac, Green Lake and Marquette. All director nominees must be active dairy producers who sell milk into commercial channels and live in the district where they are nominated. Each potential candidate must acquire at least five signatures from active dairy producers within the district, submit a completed nomination form, and have the “Affidavit of Eligibility” certification requirement notarized. The nominee must sign the nomination form. Nominations for District 16 must be postmarked by March 16, 2011.
WMMB directors guide the organization’s finances, formulate and set its policies and long-range business plan, and maintain its mission: To help grow demand for Wisconsin milk by providing programs that enhance the competitiveness of the Wisconsin dairy industry. Through these initiatives, a WMMB director has the opportunity to represent Wisconsin dairy farmers and products, as well as to become involved in activities that inform and educate consumers.
After nominations have been certified, DATCP will hold a mail-in ballot election April 11 – 25, 2011, and announce results in May. This year there are nine districts up for election.
