OUR SPONSORS

Our Sponsors

This is what commitment looks like.

These are the people and companies who support dairy farmers and continuous improvement for the dairy industry. They hold the dairy farmers in high regard. Many have walked with us year after year.

While we think these companies receive value for their sponsorship dollar (interacting with the best-of-the-best dairy producers), we know that they support us in principle as well. They believe in producer leadership, and they place high value on lifelong education for those involved in the dairy industry.

We deeply respect their commitment to us. It is by this partnership that we continue to build a strong industry filled with capable professionals.

If you interact with any of these companies, please thank them for supporting PDP.

MISSION SPONSORS

American Foods Group

American Foods Groups supports PDP due to their continued contribution to all dairy producers nationwide. We built that foundation with PDP because of what they do for our customers. Continuing education, sharing ideas, and helping each other succeed. It doesn’t matter the size or the type of dairy farm they show dedication to all. When we work together, we are stronger, which is why we will continue to support PDP for producers now and in the future. – Dan Rentschler, Vice President of Cattle Procurement
 

Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin

The Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin builds awareness of Wisconsin-produced dairy products by creating national publicity, managing digital advertising, and driving sales, distribution and trials through retail and foodservice promotions. It also supports in-school education about the benefits of dairy and funding for the UW Center for Dairy Research.  This organization exists to be tireless advocates, marketers and promoters for Wisconsin dairy farmers and to drive demand for Wisconsin dairy products. – Chad Vincent, CEO

Dairy's Foundation

Dairy's Foundation is a mission sponsor of Professional Dairy Producers because we believe that education is the key to healthy and vibrant dairy communities. PDP fulfills that promise by providing programs that are consistent with the Foundation's strategic vision of a professional, proactive and prepared dairy community. PDP is the perfect platform for the Foundation to focus support in these key areas: raising up the next generation of the dairy community and maintaining public trust in dairy’s people and products.   – Brian Forrest, Board Chair and dairy owner, Maple Ridge Dairy

From ensuring food safety to your passion for cow care and respect for natural resources, PDP helps dairy farmers not only stay in step with but also build trusted relationships with customers and consumers.

For over 30 years, the PDP staff and producer-led Board of Directors has generated forward thinking initiatives and world class education to future proof the industry and challenge dairy farmers to improve their business every day. The agricultural world must continue to share ideas, solutions, resources and experiences through leading edge programing and events like PDP creates to truly Grow a Better World Together. – Kurt Petik, Sr. Relationship Manager
