MADISON, Wis. — The state’s largest dairy lobbying group issued the following statement today regarding the state Senate’s consideration of Brad Pfaff, Wisconsin’s secretary-designee of the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

STATEMENT

Our dairy farmers are being battered by a perfect storm of challenges, from low milk prices in recent years and extreme weather conditions to shifting regulations and trade disruptions. What we desperately need is certainty and stability, not a political fight. DBA supported Mr. Pfaff’s appointment at the outset and we see no reason to change that position now. At this critical moment for Wisconsin’s dairy community, the right thing to do is to keep him in place.
