U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin announced that Dairy Dreams LLC in Casco, Wisconsin, will receive more than $2.5 million to help launch the production of organic fertilizers. The investment comes as the low supply and increased expense of fertilizer across the world is contributing to rising food prices and increased hunger. The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Fertilizer Product Expansion Program.
“Wisconsin’s agriculture community helps feed the world, and as many of them innovate and scale up operations to meet the global demand, I am proud to deliver the resources they need to grow their business and drive our Wisconsin agriculture economy forward," said Senator Baldwin.
