On June 24 Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez travelled to Medford to meet with Christy and Joe Tomandl at their farms to discuss the future of dairies in Wisconsin. The Tomandls are heavily involved in the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship (DGA), a nonprofit organization that partners with established grazing dairy farmers, universities, community based organizations and other entities to remove barriers that keep new farmers from entering the profession. According to DGA, the United States loses 5-10% of its dairy farms every year. The DGA combines work-based training with related instruction for the occupation of “dairy grazier,” or a farmer who uses managed grazing to plant perennial forages and then rotates cows through these pastures of high-quality grasses which are then allowed to rest and regrow. “Just training the next generation isn’t enough,” said Joe Tomandl.
