UW-Madison School for Beginning Dairy Receives Endowment Gift
The University of Wisconsin-Madisons School for Beginning Dairy and Livestock Farmers has received its biggest contribution ever this month. FCS Financial Services, a farmer-owned financial services cooperative based in Wausau, pledged a cash gift of $50,000 to the program. The funds will support increased programming and initiatives, such as distance education classrooms, internships and mentioning, for this one-of-a-kind program for beginning and transitioning farmers.
Program Directors Dick Cates and Jennifer Taylor note that FCS Financial Services and the FCS Wisconsin Board were early supporters of the WSBDF. In addition to the current gift, they have made pledges totaling more than $20,000 since the program began.
This pledge is a powerful statement of support for the next generation of agricultural entrepreneurs and for the rural communities of north-central Wisconsin, said Cates said.
