Dairy farmers in the South Dakota will have the opportunity to learn more about their checkoff investment from the Midwest Dairy Association. District meetings across the state have been scheduled for the month of January. All producers are welcome to attend, but reservations are required by calling 800-338-5160.

“This year we’ll share how promotion has taken new direction to build sales and demand for dairy,” said Jim Neugebauer, Dimock, Midwest Dairy Association’s South Dakota Division chairman. “Today’s promotion efforts are all around us, but because they are behind the scenes, they can be invisible to those of us who fund them. Dairy farmers who attend the meetings this year will learn more about how the checkoff is working in new ways, including ones that reach all geographic areas.”

The meeting schedule is as follows:
Friday, January 4, 11:00 a.m. – District 5, Pizza Ranch, Milbank;
Monday, January 7, 11 a.m. – District 2 and 4, Airport Café’, Aberdeen;
