The 7th Annual North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge will be held on April 4-5, 2008 in Madison, Wisconsin and is being hosted by the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Farm Credit is a major supporter of this event nationally and regionally. Local ACA's, like Yankee, donate toward regional contests; the Northeast Ag Enhancement Fund helps support the regional contest in the NE; and the Farm Credit System Foundation has awarded NAIDC a $20,000 grant for support of the national and 4 regional contests this year! Farm Credit staff provides support through trainings for students in prepartion for the contests as well as at the actual contests filling various roles such as judges, organization, farm coordination, etc.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that Jean Conklin from our White River Junction office is on the NAIDC Board of Directors!
