The dairy industry is struggling in the state and some local farmers are working together to try to survive.
Six farms in the Seymour area are part of the Slo Farmers Co-op.
Rick Adamski is a board member of the Wisconsin Farmers Union. He thinks progress is creating community in the industry.
Co-op members say it helps them focus on the products instead of selling and marketing. They’re getting about 50 percent of the money from their meat share program. That’s compared to about 14 percent through traditional methods.
