Brickstead Dairy Farm Tour with Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin
Event Recap: On Wednesday, October 11th, CAC and WI-based partners Healthy Climate Wisconsin, Faith in Place and the National Wildlife Federation hosted Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) on a farm tour highlighting how climate smart agriculture investments in the Inflation Reduction Act are benefiting Wisconsin farmers. Dan Brick, owner and manager of Brickstead Dairy, a fifth-generation family-run farm, led Sen. Baldwin and a representative from USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wisconsin office on the tour.
“I voted for the Inflation Reduction Act because it is helping our agriculture community address their challenges, cut costs, and create economic opportunity,” said Senator Baldwin. “I am proud to have helped secure $19.5 billion to help our hardworking farmers, ranchers, and producers adopt sustainable practices, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and increase efficiencies.”
“The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act means that there are now billions of dollars available to support farmers in building climate resilience on their farms. It’s important that this funding be distributed to farmers and not be diverted for other purposes,” said Dan Brick, owner of Brickstead Dairy.
