Ready to cultivate success in your dairy farming journey?
Join our new, vibrant community of young dairy farmers!
Whether you’re planting the first seeds of your career or growing your operation, our group provides the support, resources, and camaraderie you need to thrive. Connect with peers, access expert advice, and stay ahead with the latest innovations in sustainable farming practices.
We’re gathering young dairy farmers from throughout the state to create the Young Dairy Farmer Program. Together, these farmers will work to address some of the biggest challenges facing their farms and the dairy industry.
As a member of our program, you will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about financial resources available to you.
- Develop farm communication plans to inform the public of the great work dairy farms do in the areas of conservation and environmental stewardship.
- Find assistance for new projects, including grant and loan research, business plan development, and grant proposal writing.
- Receive training on new technologies and practices.
- Attend farm and industry tours to learn from peers.
