A proposed $20 million loan program designed to support dairy cattle innovation in Wisconsin has failed to advance this legislative session. The measure was modified to split funding between dairy and beef cattle operations before ultimately stalling.
A Wisconsin legislative initiative aimed at establishing a $20 million loan program for dairy cattle innovation has collapsed during the current session, leaving both agricultural advocates and lawmakers expressing frustration.
According to Assembly Agriculture Committee Chair Travis Tranel, the original proposal underwent significant changes during the legislative process. The bill was restructured to allocate $10 million specifically for dairy cattle loans while designating another $10 million for beef cattle financing.
“We should have recognized, and we had a substitute,” Tranel stated when discussing the bill’s challenges.
The program was designed to provide financial assistance to Wisconsin farmers looking to implement innovative practices and technologies in their dairy operations. However, the legislation has now stalled without advancing through the current session.
Both farming communities and state representatives had hoped the innovation loan program would help modernize Wisconsin’s dairy industry and support agricultural advancement throughout the state.
