    By Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems

    Description

    The Wisconsin School for Beginning Dairy and Livestock Farmers has been designed to provide the opportunity for motivated individuals to educate themselves about pasture-based dairy and livestock farming. We offer our specialized training through traditional classroom activities, hands-on internships, and farm tours of pasture-based farms managed by successful graduates and mentors. We strongly emphasize the business and financial planning knowledge required to run a successful farm business. Classroom instruction at the school runs from the middle of November through the end of March, and our students typically participate in internships from April through July.
