Omro farm helps Monarch butterfly populations flourish
OMRO, Wis. — Monarch butterfly populations may be in decline, but an Omro dairy farm is one of a number of farms around the state working to help the butterflies flourish.
Omro Dairy, which is owned by Kaukauna-based Milk Source, has established more than three acres of protective zones for Monarch butterflies around its farm on East Scott Street in Omro, the Oshkosh Northwestern (http://oshko.sh/29SJAol ) reported. Staff said they hope it will improve populations by giving butterflies places to land and lay eggs along their migration route through Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
