What's the best way to get more fluid milk into our country's food pantries? The demand for fresh milk is always present.
What ideas do you have to keep our shelves stocked?

[DairyCap @DairyCap]

Do we have climate smart infrastructure in this country? Unfortunately, not enough. We need to build-in anticipated climate change in the way we design new infrastructure and include environmental justice front and center to ensure that no one suffers unfairly. #NAF2019

Workshop participants dig into to the advantages of co-producing knowledge by working with farmers, ranchers and forest owners at today’s conference. #NAF2019 #USDAclimatehubs

[DairyCap @DairyCap]

Learn to communicate science by not being a scientist. Instead, use story telling as a mechanism to convey ideas through people who are affected by a problem. This is a co-production process. #NAF2019

[DairyCap @DairyCap]

Wetter springs and falls in South Dakota and other corn growing states are making farmers re-think how they plant and harvest their crops. #NAF2019

[DairyCap @DairyCap]

Faith-based discussions on climate change with Green Muslims, United Methodist, Lutheran and Unitarian participants at #NAF2019.

[DairyCap @DairyCap]

Lots to learn from the State of Wisconsin about natural resource climate adaptation in the #NAF2019 sessions in the sessions on the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts.

[DairyCap @DairyCap]

Start with race and environmental justice when developing a climate action plan, say the leaders of a #NAF2019 pre-conference workshop in Madison WI.

Excited to participate in this year's National Adaptation Forum which will be held in Madison at the Monona Terrace Convention Center. #NAF2019

Happy Belated World Soil Day!

An estimated 95% of our food comes from soil. On this #WorldSoilDay, let’s celebrate the farmers around the world who are tending the soil and growing our crops!

Analysis shows that there is room for more dairy animal agriculture in Western Pennsylvania which may help relieve pressure on water quality goals in the Chesapeake River watershed. But animal agriculture expansion has a few, major obstacles to overcome. https://t.co/MI8Rpwpkwc

[Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) @dairypdpw]

Dairy farmers are excellent stewards of their land. @mysticvalley and over 5,000 other WI farmers recycle about 40 million tons of ag plastics, in an effort to reduce ag's carbon footprint. #myPDPW #GrowingLeaders #LeadingChange https://t.co/Fu3d63FNYB
