WISCONSIN COMMUNICATIONS:AS AMERICA'S DAIRYLAND AND HOME TO OVER 6,000 DAIRY FARMS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO REINFORCE THE STATE'S PRIDE AND KEEP ONE OF THE STATE'S LARGEST INDUSTRIES STRONG. ONE OF DAIRY FARMERS OF WISCONSIN'S (DFW) OBJECTIVES IS TO BUILD TRUST IN FARMERS, DAIRY FARMING, DAIRY PRODUCTS, AND OUR ORGANIZATION IN WISCONSIN. TO BUILD TRUST, WE UTILIZE PUBLIC RELATIONS, SOCIAL MEDIA, WEBSITES, E-NEWSLETTERS, NEARLY 60 VOLUNTEER PROMOTION GROUPS, SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AND FARMER TRADE SHOWS. THROUGH THE COMPANY-WIDE EFFORTS AT DFW, TOTAL MILK USAGE OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS HAS INCREASED BY 79%, AND SINCE 2013, ANNUAL CHEESE SALES HAVE RISEN BY 45 MILLION POUNDS. FURTHERMORE, ABOUT 16% OF DAIRY IS EXPORTED OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.OUR KEY STAKEHOLDERS, WISCONSIN DAIRY FARMERS, MUST SEE TRANSPARENCY IN OUR EFFORTS AND HOW WE ARE UTILIZING THEIR DOLLARS TO PROMOTE DAIRY. FIFTEEN CENTS FOR EVERY 100 LBS. OF MILK IS DEDUCTED FOR THE CHECKOFF, WHICH HAS REMAINED THE SAME SINCE 1983. OUR FARMER COMMUNICATION TEAM WORKS TIRELESSLY TO CONNECT THE PROGRAMS RUN BY DFW TO THE LOCAL FARMER, SHARING SUCCESS STORIES. WE STRATEGICALLY PLAN CONTENT AND COMMUNICATIONS YEAR AFTER YEAR TO ENSURE WE ARE CONNECTED TO THE OVER 6,000 DAIRY FARM FAMILIES WE REPRESENT.UTILIZING VARIOUS COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES, WE REACH FARMERS WITH RELEVANT AND TIMELY INFORMATION, PROVIDING THE TOOLS AND ASSETS THEY NEED TO TELL THEIR OWN STORIES AND CRITICAL STATE AND NATIONAL MESSAGING.

PUBLIC RELATIONS EFFORTS WORK TOWARDS BUILDING TRUST IN AND OF WISCONSIN DAIRY AND DAIRY FARMERS. DFW FUNDS ALICE IN DAIRYLAND AND HELPS TELL DAIRY FARMER STORIES AND GET CONSUMERS TO VISIT FARMS THROUGH JUNE DAIRY MONTH ACTIVITIES AND THROUGH KEY DAIRY-CENTERED TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

DFW ACTIVELY PITCHES WISCONSIN DAIRY PRODUCERS, PROCESSORS, AND PARTNERS TO MEDIA OUTLETS TO EARN PLACEMENTS.TO REACH THE NEXT GENERATION OF DAIRY CONSUMERS, WE HAVE A YOUTH AND SCHOOLS PROGRAM THAT BUILDS TRUST IN THREE WAYS: LOCALIZING THE NATIONAL CHECKOFF FUEL UP TO PLAY 60 PROGRAM, CREATING DAIRY EDUCATION PROGRAMMING, AND SEEKING WAYS TO INCREASE DAIRY CONSUMPTION DURING MEALS. WISCONSIN'S FUEL UP TO PLAY IS ONE OF THE LEADING REGIONAL PROGRAM EXECUTIONS, REACHING NEARLY 300,000 WISCONSIN STUDENTS IN 96% OF COUNTIES WITH OUR DAIRY MESSAGES. OVER 300 WISCONSIN SCHOOLS ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH THE WEBSITE AND UTILIZED THE AVAILABLE DIGITAL RESOURCES OFFERED TO IMPACT 95,000+ STUDENTS.

FINALLY, A COMPETITIVE DAIRY EQUIPMENT GRANT OPPORTUNITY PROVIDED SCHOOL MEAL EQUIPMENT TO 12 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AFFECTING 34 SCHOOLS AND OVER 10,000 STUDENTS, HELPING SCHOOL NUTRITION DEPARTMENTS INCREASE PARTICIPATION AND SERVE MORE DAIRY TO STUDENTS.WORKING TOGETHER WITHIN WISCONSIN, DFW AND DAIRY ADVOCATES BUILD NETWORKS FOR PROMOTION AND MARKETING THAT WE CALL "CHAMPIONS OF DAIRY." THESE VOLUNTEER-LED LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS IMPLEMENT STATE AND NATIONAL MESSAGING, BUILDING TRUST ON A HYPER-FOCUSED LOCAL LEVEL. NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH (JUNE) IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVATION TIME FOR THESE GROUPS AND RESULTS IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PERSONAL CONNECTIONS THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN SHARING ECONOMIC IMPACT, SUSTAINABILITY, COW CARE, AND DAIRY NUTRITION MESSAGING.
