The Winter Traveling Dairy Management Class


The Winter Traveling Dairy Management class is an opportunity for a limited number of students within the UMass Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences to tour dairy farms and dairy-related businesses within the New England region. In early January students from the six participating New England universities spend a week touring dairy facilities and dairy-related businesses. While all dairy producers are in the business of producing milk, each does it in a way that is unique to the region and to the individual farm. Students learn first hand about the challenges that dairy producers face. By participating, students have the opportunity to interact with other students, faculty and producers from other regions in New England.
