Young Farmers Invited to Get Away

News EditorAccelerated Genetics

Accelerated Genetics invites dairy farmers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois to the 2011 Young Producer Winter Get-Away themed ‘YPCC Rodeo Finals’, January 29-30 at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wis.

This weekend get-away is designed for producers and herdspeople–individuals, couples and families. It is a great way to get rid of the winter blahs, get off the farm to spend time enjoying life, learn something new and stay warm inside with fellow producers. For this year’s theme ‘YPCC Rodeo Finals’ everyone is to dress up for Saturday’s dinner in Cowgirl/Cowboy or Rodeo Clown wear. Prizes will be awarded for Best Dressed during dinner Saturday night!

Besides relaxing during the weekend, adults can attend educational sessions one of them will feature Corey Geigor of Hoard’s Dairyman. He will be about ‘Top 10 Issues Facing the Dairy Industry’. Youth will be able to check out the Kalahari’s NEW Indoor Theme Park and get involved in fun indoor activities. On Sunday there is an adult and youth combined break out sessions on General Farm Safety. Individual sessions will be held on: Liquid & Barn Hazards; Big Equipment Hazards; Safety Around Farm Animals; and Basic First Aid. There will also be plenty of time for everyone to network and enjoy the waterpark. Closing out the Winter Get-Away this year are the Rodeo Final Olympics that producers won’t want to miss.

Accelerated Genetics thinks all producers deserve an opportunity to sit back, spend time with others and enjoy time away from the farm business at the 2011 Winter Get-Away.

Reservations are needed by January 4, 2011! For more information about the Winter-Get Away and to register call 1-800-451-9275 ext. 5422 or email kstanek@accelgen.com. All meals, speakers and activities are paid for by Accelerated Genetics. The only cost is a hotel room at $139.00/night. (This includes wristbands for entry into the waterpark for four (4) people. Additional wristbands can be purchased for $20.00/person.)

The Accelerated Genetics Young Producer Program is open to any producer or herdsperson (individuals or couples), in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa or Illinois, who are interested in expanding their horizons, meeting other producers, and having fun doing it.
