Not driven by fame or fortune, Stephen Babcock found his inspiration to innovate in the possibility of making people’s lives better. While working as an agricultural chemist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he created the Babcock Test, which made it possible to accurately and efficiently find the amount of butterfat in milk, a total game-changer for the dairy industry. The test, along with his other all-star research discoveries, helped Wisconsin gain the nickname, “America’s Dairyland.”
