Farm News: WMMB Elections Up Next

comments

Posted: 01.20.2010

The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is preparing for the upcoming Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB) director elections. Each year, dairy producers elect a portion of the 25-member WMMB to a three-year term. Board nominees consist of producers who are actively engaged in the production and sale of milk within the district of nomination.

         Encouraging nominees to “Shape the Future,” DATCP says becoming a WMMB director allows producers to 1) join in the leadership that promotes Wisconsin dairy, and 2) have a voice in how milk check-off dollars are spent. In 2010, the following districts are up for election (see table). Producers in these areas should soon receive a postcard from DATCP, calling for nominations.
