June Dairy Month June was all about celebrating our Wisconsin Farm families and the tremendous impact they have on our economy and on our world. We were fortunate to have Waterloo FFA members Rachelle Braunschweig, Kassie Haase and Sara Skalitzky serve ice cream in Waterloo as part of our celebration. An especially yummy “THANK YOU” to Amanda Bosnak, FFA advisor, and her helper, Adelynn (pictured below) for coordinating the June Dairy Month treat in Waterloo on June 8th, 2018.
