June Dairy Month

---

 

June is the National Dairy Month, and as Wisconsin is one of the top dairy producers in the country, we celebrate all through the month with dairy breakfasts and breakfasts on the farm. This weekend, both Lincoln and Langlade Counties will be holding their June Dairy Month breakfasts. Lincoln County will have their June Dairy Breakfast on June 12th at the Smith Center at the MARC in Merrill. Langlade County will hold their Breakfast on the Farm on June 12th at Wild's Dairy Farm, Inc. in Antigo. Shawano County will hold their Breakfast on the Farm on June 26th in Bonduel.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone out at the breakfasts, celebrating one of Wisconsin's top industries!
