If you’re up to the challenge then some regional Dairy Challenge competitions are coming up.
Here’s part of the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge mission statement: “To create an intercollegiate dairy management competition based on the examination of all aspects of a dairy business.”
The third annual Midwest Dairy Challenge will be held in the heart of America’s Dairyland from January 25 to 27, 2007. The contest will be hosted by Fond du Lac County University of Wisconsin-Extension and Moraine Park Technical College, and headquartered at the Ramada Plaza Hotel, Fond du Lac, Wis. To compete in the contest, an entry form must be completed and postmarked by Nov. 15, 2006, to American Dairy Science Association, 1111 North Dunlap Avenue, Savoy, IL 61874. An entry fee of $50 must accompany each entry.
The first Southern Regional Dairy Challenge event is being planned for Nov. 19-21, in Roanoke, Va., to introduce more young people in the South to the practice of dairy farm analysis. Information on becoming a sponsor or enrolling a team in the first Southern Dairy Challenge can be obtained by visiting the web site at www.dairychallenge.org.

The 2006 Northeast Regional Event will be held October 19-21, 2006 in Waterloo, New York.
