Our Vision & Mission
People. Partners.
Resources. Profits.
The four simple but important words in our logo that represent the key dairy industry components addressed in The Center for Dairy Excellence mission…
. . .to empower people, create partnerships, and increase the availability and use of resources to grow dairy profitability in Pennsylvania and the Northeast.
The vision statements approved by the Dairy Task Force serve as a guide for the industry to follow and will provide positive impact as they are broadly applied.
We envision a dairy industry that...
- Embraces all Pennsylvania dairy herds, focuses on improving their profitability, and supports their growth and development through a progressive and proactive infrastructure, resulting in an adequate supply of high-quality dairy products preferred by consumers.
- Stimulates the collaboration of new and existing dairy production, farm management and business planning tools to help dairy producers improve performance, better utilize inputs and increase profits.
- Collaborates across all segments of the industry to communicate effectively, share ideas and support each other to enhance the statewide industry.
- Proactively Demonstrates to elected officials and our non-farm neighbors the dairy industry's contribution to Pennsylvania's economy and environmental well being, seeking fairness in the laws that govern our producers and the programs available to our industry.
