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.
