The APPs training will provide a hands-on experience and insights to the modern dairy farm business. Topics covered will include animal welfare, consumer trust, food safety, environmental stewardship, dairy economics, business strategies and beyond. Modules include the Fundamentals of Dairy Science; Farming, Field and Food Fundamentals; and Fundamentals of Dairy Business Management.
“APPs provides industry professionals the on-farm experience needed to succeed.” said Marty Hallock, dairy farmer in Mondovi, Wis. and past president of the PDPW Board of Directors. “Too often, people with no dairy background are surprised that farmers make the decisions they do – they don’t see the whole picture. APPs gives them the whole picture.”
The training provides food system and allied industry professionals with the confidence and enhanced credibility needed to succeed in their job. Attendees engage in a safe learning environment to explore terminology, management practices and build their dairy business acumen, resulting in greater understanding and empathy when working with farmers.
APPs is an accredited training earning up to 22.5 Dairy AdvanCE continuing education units (CEUs). Dairy AdvanCE is a continuing accreditation provider for dairy producers and other dairy industry professionals. To learn more or secure credits, visit DairyAdvance.org.
