Menahga dairy operation hosting tour

Local dairy producers Mark and Kristine Spadgenske and Mike Spadgenske will give a tour of their dairy operation to State Sen. Dan Skogen (DFL-Hewitt). Skogen has invited Sen. Scott Dibble to come along as his urban guest. Following the tour, attendees will go into Menahga to have lunch at the Cottage House Café to further discuss current dairy issues and legislation. The tour will be at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 13 at the Spadgenske Dairy Farm, 54795 State Highway 87, Menahga. Like other industries across the nation, Minnesota’s dairy industry is facing some tough economic conditions. Despite these conditions, dairy producers are still proud of what they are doing for Minnesota’s economy, environment and rural communities. Minnesota Milk Producers Association is coordinating up to 12 of these small gatherings across the state. The gatherings are purposefully small to better directly engage state leaders on dairy issues.
