(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -The Jefferson-based Insight FS has made a substantial contribution toward the Wisconsin Dairy Recovery Program.This week, the cooperative donated $10,000 to Hunger Task Force to support the effort, which is a partnership that also includes the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin and Department of Agriculture to supply milk to food organizations throughout the state. "We realize that food insecurity happens in our own backyard and this program allowed us to better serve the communities throughout Wisconsin and encourage others in the community to support similar efforts," said Insight General Manager Dave Mottet. "The cooperative's donation not only serves food insecure households, it also helps dairy farmers who are facing unexpected challenges this year."
The initiative was launched in April after the DFW, DATCP and Hunger Task Force collectively gave $1 million to help purchase dairy products in an effort to help struggling dairy producers during the governor's Safer at Home order. To support the ongoing recovery of Wisconsin's dairy industry, Hunger Task Force encourages people to make an online donation at www.HungerTaskForce.org/dairy
