ARIP Is Paving The Way For Farmer Success

The Agricultural Road Improvement Program, or ARIP as the Department of Transportation (DOT) likes to call it, is a program that has seen a real, big-time impact on Wisconsin's infrastructure and economy, according to John DesRivieres. He's the communication director for the Wisconsin DOT. The program is a dedicated state funding source that improves the roads used by farmers and producers to transport agricultural products and goods. Thus far, the program has funded 122 improvement projects across 56 of Wisconsin's 72 counties. The roads associated with those projects transport 23.5 million tons of ag products each year. That's valued at $13 billion. John tells Kiley Allan it's only the beginning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
