The Fowler Dental Clinic is very excited and honored to have received an unexpected $1,900 donation from 100 Who Care Green County. Fowler Dental Clinic is a non-profit clinic that provides free dental care to underserved children in Green County. These funds will go a long way in helping to meet the general programs expenses of the clinic. Donations such as these are especially helpful to the clinic, as they are not earmarked for certain purposes, as funds received from grants often are.

Green County dairy producers are well recognized for producing the high quality milk that results in the production of some of the finest cheese in the world. Dairy farms are unique because efforts to produce a high quality product must occur every day. The success of our dairy industry has been built on the consumers’ confidence in the quality of our dairy products. The top Green County dairy herds will be recognized at the upcoming Annual Green County DHI Membership Luncheon for producing high quality milk based on their somatic cell count (SCC) levels.

With an early spring looking like a good possibility, Wisconsin agriculture officials are asking farmers to check the Runoff Risk Advisory Forecast online before spreading manure.
They encourage farmers to avoid spreading manure during high-risk runoff times. If farmers must spread manure during such times, they should steer clear of high-risk fields and have a spill response plan in place.
