Midwest Dairy Challenge Held in Menomonie
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 02/22/2011
The seventh Annual Midwest Dairy Challenge attracted 68 students from 16 universities and colleges to the event hosted by the University of Wisconsin-River Falls this month.
The program is an innovative competition developed by industry and university professionals, which exposes students to opportunities in a vibrant dairy industry. This year is the tenth anniversary of the
national contest, the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge, which will be held March 31 through April 2 in North Carolina. The regional competitions allow students to gain experience in dairy
analysis.
Working in four- or five-person, mixed-university teams, students at the Midwest Dairy Challenge assessed all aspects of a working dairy farm and presented recommendations for improvement to a panel of
judges and the participating farm families.
This year's contest was held in Menomonie, which drew students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Iowa State University, the University of Minnesota, Michigan State University, the University of
Illinois, South Dakota State University, The Ohio State University, Kansas State University, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Purdue University, the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, Northeast Iowa
Community College, UW Farm and Industry Short Course, Lakeshore Technical College, Chippewa Valley Technical College, and Northcentral Technical College.
