Governor Walz Signs Dairy Assistance Bill

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) — A bill signed by Governor Tim Walz will provide assistance to more Minnesota dairy farmers.

The legislation commonly known as the “Dairy Bill, spelled with an I” is called the Dairy Assistance, Investment, Relief Initiative.

The measure provides funding so more dairy farmers can apply for federal money.

The funding will go to farmers who are either new or were not eligible a few years ago when the program was available.

Dairy farmers hoping to apply can do so on  the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website.
