May is Beef Month! May is Beef Month in Wisconsin! Most people think of Wisconsin as “The
Dairy State,” but there are actually more beef producers in Wisconsin than
licensed dairy producers. There are approximately 14,800 beef producers and
11,000 dairy producers in Wisconsin. As the most agriculture-dependent senate
district in the state, the 17th Senate District and our communities rely on
the success of the beef industry. |
