A 19-billion-dollar relief program for farmers and ranchers also offers some help for Wisconsin dairy farmers. Three billion dollars will go to help the fresh produce, dairy and meat industries. Dairy farmers have been forced to dump their milk for the last two weeks. The coronavirus pandemic created a major shift in demand almost overnight. The Hunger Task Force had just announced last week it would spend one million dollars in Wisconsin buying back milk for food pantries. The U-S Department of Agriculture says it will spend 100 million dollars-a-month on buying dairy products for food banks nationwide.
