Dairy Farmers Push Milk Machines In Wisconsin Schools
Dairy farmers in western Wisconsin install coin operated milk machines in Alma and Durand high schools and nearby districts. Milk sales cut pop demand, with Alma’s shop selling about 1,100 half pints weekly at 15 cents each and Durand exceeding 600 half pints weekly. FFA chapters fill machines and take a penny per half pint, funding several dollars weekly for the groups. Milk only offered in these machines, backing a growing cross state effort inspired by Minnesota precedents.

Rep Steve Gunderson urged swift action as House and Senate leaders weigh the plan amid tight timelines and possible court challenges.
