The Center for Dairy Excellence in Pennsylvania has unveiled a new design for its website.
The new design offers a simplistic and intuitive approach to finding resources available from the center. Integration of social media and blogging technology into the new design allows web visitors to stay informed and engaged in the center’s programming.
The new website design has six main sections, including:
· Business Tools, where users will find information on the center’s on-farm resource programs, risk management tools, and business planning template. Case studies on dairy farm business transformation are also included in this section.
· Dairy Information, where links to the latest market and industry reports from the center are included. Users can subscribe to blog posts of Markets and Management Updates and Dairy Week in Review issues, as well as the latest columns from Center for Dairy Excellence Executive Director John Frey.
· Programs and Events, which will house a dairy events calendar that any organization can upload their dairy events to. Information on the center’s core events, including the “Dairy PROS Series” and the “Open House and Dairy Tours” can be found in this section as well.
· Advocacy and Outreach, where users can find resources to help them share their dairy story with their non-farm neighbors, key leaders in their communities and with students and educators.
· Students and Educators, which includes information on the center’s resources for dairy youth and its “Discover Dairy” Lesson Series for upper elementary and middle school classrooms. Links to the “Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow” curriculum and the center’s scholarship program are also here.
· Dairy’s Value, a section created for community leaders to learn more about the benefits dairy farms bring includes a map showing how much dairy is worth in each county and an overview of Pennsylvania’s dairy industry.
