MADISON, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Madison is moving ahead with a $75-million initiative to upgrade research and teaching facilities to support the industries that make some of the state's most iconic agricultural products.
The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents recently approved a plan to provide half of the funds for a new livestock and poultry products laboratory and remodeling and expansion of pilot plants in Babcock Hall used for dairy product research and instruction and manufacture of products like cheese and ice cream.
The balance of funding is slated to come from firms and organizations. . .
