ACE Meetings

ACE (Agricultural Community Engagement) is a partnership between the WTA, the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin that keeps producers and community leaders engaged in dialogue about important agricultural issues at the local level.  Each year, the WTA, partners with the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin to sponsor seminars, farm tours and community Twilight Meetings.  These events foster an ongoing communication about the current and future role that dairy farms play in our local communities.
