Producers invited to CDE mealtime meetings

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The Center for Dairy Excellence is planning to host several mealtime meetings next month with dairy producers and small groups across Pennsylvania for informal, roundtable discussions about dairy profitability. Producers and small groups interested in scheduling a meeting with the Center are encouraged to call 717-346-0849 or email info@centerfordairyexcellence.org.

“The Center’s role is to provide resources for Pennsylvania’s dairy industry and its individual dairy farm businesses,” says John Frey, executive director of the Center for Dairy Excellence. “Our industry is ever changing and with these changes, come needed resources for all aspects of dairy planning. We want to hear from, and dialogue with, dairy producers and others in the industry to learn what resources are needed.”

“Now in our ninth year, our goal remains to help producers navigate the increasingly competitive waters of a dynamic dairy industry. We look forward to robust discussions with producers.” Frey said. “We hope these mealtime meetings will give us the opportunity to do just that.”

The Center is a non-profit organization created in 2004 to empower people, create partnerships and coordinate resources to grow dairy profitability in the Commonwealth. The Center offers grants, educational events and informational resources, and much of what the center offers is offered at no cost to producers.
