There's more to Wisconsin than beer, brats, cheese heads and farms. We need to move into the 21st century in terms of how we market this state. Family farms are a thing of the past. Bragging about how much beer, brats, and cheese we drink and eat isn't something to be proud of. Travel to other parts of the country and ask people what comes to mind when someone mentions the state of WI. It isn't all the great medical research facilities we have, that's for sure.
this whole debatte is rather silly, who cares if California, the worlds fifth largest ecomomy with a GDP larger than most nations, can produce more tonnage of cheese per annum than Wisconsin. Do you know how Calif. does this? The avg. dairy herd size in Calif. is just over 400 cows, 400 cows produce daily as much fecal and liquid waste as a city of 30,000 people.
the avg. dariy herd size in Wis. is 70-75. These big , massive farms are not good for the environment, ironic considering Calif.'s more environmental ways.
per capita we still produce more than anybody, there are many metrics for measuring, I'll keep our smaller farms and less polution and runoff.
there's nothing wrong with being america's dairyland-- just with an inferiority complex that says we're somehow not good enough or less sophisticated because we produce dairy products. Somebody's got to. Might as well be us.

Agree.
I think rural small town life, outdoors, and farming still signify Wisconsin. I don't think Milwaukee and other big cities define their states. I have no problem displaying a Wisconsin license plate, although I once had to have New Mexico plates (The Land of Enchantment) and that was actually embarrasing to me.
But again, I like the simple country life and don't need to be a sophisticated big shot to feel good about myself.
who cares what our license plates say or what our "motto" is...if someones perception of a place or their deciding factor to move somewhere is based on their license plate or "motto" then they have bigger problems...
hell don't we actually have more lakes then minnesota? can we steal their slogan or maybe say we are the land of 10,001 lakes just to rub it in?
