Dairy Rules Advisory Committee

​​​​​​​​​​​<< Return to Dairy Services page​​

The purpose of the Dairy Rules Advisory Committee (DRAC) is to advise the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) on actions to improve Wisconsin dairy ​rules. The committee meets quarterly.

For​ the first year, core functions of the committee include: establishing by-laws, officers, and procedures for the committee; and providing feedback on current rules and future priority areas for rule changes.

The document below regarding Dairy Farm Inspection Frequency Options was shared at the Industry Stakeholder Meeting on August 16, 2023. To make a comment about dairy farm inspection frequencies, contact us via email by navigating to the "Contact" section below.
