Resources to Help Producers
The folks who drive in and out of farm driveways on a routine basis are Pennsylvania’s dairy industry’s first line of defense when it comes to building a stronger dairy infrastructure. You can help your producers achieve their own goals while helping the industry “Top 10!”. Here are some resources that may help.
Dairy Profit Team Program
A Dairy Profit Team and the many tools available through it can help dairy producers realize higher production, improved reproduction, better herd health and greater profits.

DART helps you become an even greater resource to the producers you work with regularly by participating in quarterly meetings that provide an opportunity to network with others in the industry while gaining valuable skills and knowledge.

The Planning and Financial Resources page lists an array of resources available to producers who are thinking of establishing a dairy business, modernizing their facilities, or expanding their operation.
