Thanks to the Midwest Dairy Association I just found out that the Milk Producers Association of North Dakota has honored three industry leaders.

The group’s prestigious Milky Way awards were presented to Char Heer, Hazelton, N.D. and Al Nielsen, Rugby, N.D. A Merit award was given to Curt Hanson, Pettibone, N.D. The Milk Producers Association of North Dakota presents the awards annually to individuals in appreciation for, and in recognition of, outstanding contributions to North Dakota’s dairy industry. The group made the presentation during the North Dakota Dairy and Pork Convention in late November in Fargo.

You can still see the program from that convention here (pdf file). I can’t seem to find a website for the dairy group though.
