The Penn State Extension Dairy Team was hard at working making sure everything ran smoothly for the Dairy Cattle Nutrition Workshop. Two of the team members I spoke with are (l-r) Rebecca White and Virginia Ishler.

Virginia says the workshop was born out of conversations about how to do more educational programs for the feed industry. She says they used to have a “road show” that included multiple stops around the state and after some years these developed quite a following. They grew so big that it was decided to just conduct one program at a central location. This year the attendance was over 600!

Rebecca says the workshop has a variety of types of programs like the pre-conference symposium sponsored by Prince Agri Products. These educational sessions, trade show and networking opportunities make it a great place to be.
