Wisconsin Finalizes Budget With $20 Million for Dairy Cattle Innovation

Governor Evers approved Wisconsin’s 2025-2027 biennial budget, which included key funding that would enable more dairy farmers to modernize their equipment.  

Although the budget deadline was June 30th, the Wisconsin legislature had fierce negotiations into the first week of July. The $111 billion budget was passed through both the House and Assembly in one day and signed into law by Governor Evers hours later on July 3rd.  

Included in the budget was a last-minute amendment that added $20 million for a new Dairy Cattle Innovation Program. With program funding allocated, the state’s budget paves the way for AEM-endorsed Senate Bill 323.
