Dunn County Dairy Promotion Committee made the difficult decision to postpone the annual Dairy Breakfast typically held to celebrate June Dairy Month and local dairy farmers. These events will highlight the efforts of Dunn County dairy farmers and encourage the community to support and learn more about local agriculture.
The Dunn County Dairy Promotion Committee strives to promote agriculture and dairy products in Dunn County, WI. The Dunn County Dairy Promotion committee receives Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin support to help highlight our dairy industry in local communities across Dunn County. The committee of dedicated volunteers share positive dairy messages through local dairy promotions, farm tours, and dairy education programs in our local schools. In addition to providing the annual dairy breakfast, the Dairy Promotion Committee also sponsors scholarships each year to area students who live or work on a dairy farm in Dunn County and supports milk, cheese and other dairy product promotions at events and programs, such as UW-Stout Athletics and local school athletic programs.
