Dairy PROS
Exclusively for Pennsylvania’s dairy industry professionals and a joint initiative of the Center for Dairy Excellence and Penn State Extension Dairy Team, Dairy PROS offers the opportunity for participants to gain new insight, learn different processes, and find more resources to help their customers and clients go from “Good” to “Great”.

Who should attend: Dairy professionals who work in ag lending, accounting, feed and nutrition, veterinary, pharmaceutical, extension, genetics, equipment, and other areas of the dairy industry to directly provide services to Pennsylvania’s dairy producers.
