The Center for Dairy Excellence’s “All Things Dairy” monthly conference call aims to provide a platform for organizations and industry partners to share timely updates, resources, programs, and upcoming events relevant to the dairy community.

“There are several exciting grant opportunities that just opened through the Center for Dairy Excellence and other organizations. These grants can help dairy producers invest in a project or piece of technology that boosts milk production, invest in a transformation or modernization for their farm, or work with a consultant on a specific area of their dairy business,” shared Valerie Mason-Faith, Risk Education Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence. “We hope you’ll join us for our December call to learn more about these opportunities and tips for completing a thorough and detailed application.”

During the December 10^th call, listeners will hear:

• Overview of grant opportunities for dairy farmers. Melissa Anderson with the Center for Dairy Excellence will share a rundown of grant opportunities available for Pennsylvania dairy farmers, including a new Dairy Productivity Grant that supports projects that directly impact milk production on dairy operations. She will also share information about Transformation and Transition Team Grants along with Dairy Decisions Consultants (DDC) grants – and how these opportunities can help dairy producers work one-on-one with consultants and trusted advisors.
