Binversies' Robinway Dairy Honored as 'Friend of the Environment'
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 05/27/2015

A Manitowoc County dairy operation has been selected as the 2015 recipient of the Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Award for Environmental Innovation from the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce Association. Robinway Dairy LLC, owned by Jay and Pam Binversie, is currently expanding their farm while taking strides in reducing their environmental footprint.

The farm is in the process of installing a manure treatment system that will allow them to expand without having to acquire additional land for nutrient management. Under the care of 25 employees, over 1,150 dairy cows are milked daily and another 700 steers are raised on site. The farm also grows 1,400 acres of crops.

"Wisconsin businesses are leaders in environmental innovation and stewardship and that leads to a cleaner environment for our families," said WMC President Kurt Bauer. "We are fortunate to have so many companies that go beyond what is required under state and federal regulations. And, clean companies are successful and profitable companies and that leads to better jobs and brighter futures for our families.:

Bauer adds that by installing the LWR System, Robinway Dairy will eliminate the risk of ground water contamination through strategic and surgical nutrient application, and will significantly reduce their ground water withdrawals.

The Business Friend of the Environment Awards highlight what Wisconsin companies are doing in the areas of sustainability, innovative technology and environmental stewardship.

An independent panel of judges representing industry, environmental groups, the Department of Natural Resources, and the University of Wisconsin select the Business Friend of the Environment winners.
