Sarah Hagenow named 78th Alice in Dairyland

CRAWFORD COUNTY, Wis (Civic Media) – Wisconsin’s new Alice in Dairyland is Sarah Hagenow from Poynette. 

Hagenow was chosen from six top candidates during ceremonies held in Crawford County Saturday, May 17.

If the name sounds familiar, there’s a reason – Sarah’s sister held the title just two years ago. In 2023, Clara Hagenow served as the 76th Alice in Dairyland, making the Hagenows the first sisters in the program’s history wear the crown.

With deep roots in agriculture and a shared passion for connecting people to Wisconsin’s farming heritage, the Hagenow sisters are leaving a unique mark on one of the state’s most treasured traditions.

Sarah Hagenow, Poynette, feels at home in Wisconsin’s agricultural industry and enjoys telling the stories of its hard-working people. She is a senior at the University of Minnesota and will graduate with a degree in agricultural and food business management, and a minor in international agriculture. Hagenow’s youth was characterized by involvement in 4-H and FFA, which spurred her to join the Gopher Dairy Club, Agricultural Business Club, Agricultural Mentor Program, and the dairy cattle judging team at college. Hagenow has held internships with Heatherstone Enterprises, Viking Dairy Company, the Minnesota State Senate, and the Animal Agriculture Alliance.
