Michigan dairy farmers have until Friday to vote on the Dairy Promotion Referendum.
For every 100 pounds of milk produced, dairy farmers currently give 15 cents toward promotional and educational activities, 10 cents of which stays in the state.
United Dairy Industry of Michigan chair Corby Werth tells Brownfield assessments last year provided UDIM with about $11.5 million for local promotions like virtual farm tours as well as farmer and school grants.
