Upcoming Events

The Center for Dairy Excellence’s “All Things Dairy” bi-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. The calls will highlight current news and developments in the dairy industry, helping dairy farmers and industry professionals stay informed, connected, and equipped with the tools you need to navigate an ever-changing marketplace.

During the April 8th call, you’ll hear:

• Rural mental health tips and advice. Monica McConkey, a Rural Mental Health Specialist at Eyes on the Horizon Consulting, will share what stress really does to your mind and body. She will also describe simple, realistic ways to handle day-to-day stress from a rural, farming perspective and how to notice when someone might be struggling — and what you can do to help.
  
• Resources from AgrAbility. Haze Orner will share the history and overview of AgrAbility, an overview of client services and benefits, and how they have helped past dairy farmer clients. AgrAbility is designed to assist farmers and other agricultural workers with disabilities or long-term health conditions by providing the resources and support they need to live independently and to continue working in or return to production agriculture.
  
• Update on HPAI and biosecurity. Dr. Erin Luley from the PA Department of Agriculture will provide real-time updates on HPAI and other biosecurity threats.
