Sponsorship Opportunities
Our goal is to leverage the strength of each organization and align resources to serve our members efficiently and to advocate for them effectively while at the same time maintaining our own individual goals and objectives. We love the dairy community, and we want to see our farm families and allied businesses succeed. That’s challenging without sensible, scientifically sound and sustainable policies and regulations at the local, state and federal levels.
