Gov. Tony Evers pledged his support for the dairy community, pointing to an investment in rural broadband and support for farmers who are advancing conservation practices.

Speaking to viewers at the Dairy Business Association’s virtual Dairy Strong conference, Evers highlighted his focus on improving what he called “unacceptable” internet service in rural Wisconsin. “High-speed internet is a necessity these days and we have to make sure it is reliable, affordable and accessible for everyone,” he said.
