Proclaiming June 2023 as Dairy Month in Wisconsin.

Impact

The resolution also highlights the current state of dairy farming in Wisconsin, with over 1.28 million cows on nearly 6,000 dairy farms generating approximately $45.6 billion annually for the state's economy. This contribution underscores the dairy industry's importance not only to Wisconsin's agricultural sector but also to its overall economic viability. By proclaiming Dairy Month, Wisconsin seeks to celebrate and raise awareness of the dairy farmers who have been pivotal in shaping the region's identity.

Summary

SJR53 is a Senate Joint Resolution to proclaim June 2023 as Dairy Month in Wisconsin. This resolution emphasizes the significant role of the dairy industry in the state's agricultural heritage, as Wisconsin has been recognized for its dairy production since as early as the 1840s. The state acknowledges this tradition through various historical milestones, including the establishment of the Wisconsin Dairyman's Association in 1872, aimed at improving dairy production and marketing practices.

Contention

While there may not be explicit points of contention within the bill itself, its passage represents broader recognition of the agricultural sector's impact on the community and state identity.
