What Can You Expect From the PA Dairy Summit?
– “The Dairy Summit was very valuable. I specifically attended for the immigration breakout session, and it was well worth attending. Very informative and I was able to maybe relieve some stress that our Hispanic workers have. One of the keynote speakers helped me renew my mission statement of why I do what I do each day! I was able to reconnect with some people I do not see very often (some has been a few years) and meet some new friends. I would encourage other dairy producers to attend to learn and be inspired!” –Betsy, PA dairy producer

– “My husband and I thought this conference was useful. It was refreshing to hear honesty about real struggles with dairy farming. It made me realize I am not alone in this battle of farming, and it was a bit therapeutic as our farm also is in the process of crawling its way out from some ‘dark days.’” – Jan, PA dairy producer
