Dairyland State Academy Launches New Website
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 12/15/2008

The newly formed Dairyland State Academy has revamped their online presence by unveiling their new and improved Website this month. The site is peppered with three-plus years of research and hosts an online community.

"We want to interact with people and start a conversation that benefits our state and the dairy industry," notes Academy President Dale Heise. "Everyone is affected by the dairy industry - whether you've lost a job because an ag-related factory closed or because you have to pay more for dairy products. We all should have a say."

The site will also launch a 2009 fundraising campaign for construction of the DSA campus.

The Dairyland State Academy is an historic collaborative effort of the DSA Board, Northcentral Technical College, the University of Wisconsin-Marathon County, University of Wisconsin-Extension, and University of Wisconsin-River Falls. On the working, for-profit DSA farm and in the classroom, students will be involved in every aspect of the farm from genetics, nutrition management, culling, waste management, and crop management to marketing, input costs, profitability, and taxes. Students can earn a two-year Applied Associate Degree in Dairy Science and transfer to a four-year degree program at UW-River Falls.
