PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis. (AP) — Researchers in the northern U.S. from New York to Wisconsin are starting a series of studies that will help dairy farmers better adapt to climate change and reduce the impact their farms have on the environment.

The $10 million dairy project is being led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
