Trivia Wheel

A trivia wheel is a real crowd pleaser and a great way to educate consumers. We've assembled Wisconsin dairy trivia and graphics specifically designed for the WinSpin 24” tabletop spinning prize wheel (B00OZH6EPO) available on Amazon . The Wisconsin dairy trivia questions have been divided into four categories (Getting Cheesy, Have You Herd, Dairy Delicious and Mystery Question), with each category broken down by audience age. Once you have purchased and receive your trivia wheel, please contact Renee Grunewald for the trivia kit materials.

National Farmer Day - October 12

National Farmers Day is a chance to connect with consumers and showcase the people and stories behind the dairy foods our customers love. On October 12, we encourage you, your employees and your organization to celebrate dairy farmers and inspire people to learn more about delicious dairy foods.

Participating is easy—just follow these quick steps: 1. On social media post original photos and/or a message that connects consumers back to the farm – and what’s real – when it comes to dairy and your connection to dairy. If you don’t have your own picture to post, don’t worry. We have several assets available to download that can be used to create your perfect piece of content, along with sample posts and key messages. 2. Use BOTH these hashtags: #NationalFarmersDay #UndeniablyDairy 3. Tag a friend, company or organization to help celebrate National Farmers Day with us and tell their dairy story. Check out DMI's National Farmers Day Activation Guide or the Dairy Hub for more information.To join the Dairy Hub, contact Vicki Janisch, vjanisch@wisconsindairy.org . ​
