JUNEAU, Wis. – As the dairy industry continues to innovate and make management decisions based on changing circumstances, it is critical for the dairy sector to be at the leading edge of technologies, business practices and the latest research. Throughout the 2025-26 program year, Professional Dairy Producers® (PDP) will deliver a full slate of in-person and virtual training opportunities designed to equip dairy professionals with the tools they need to be successful, including a number of programs with simultaneous Spanish translation.

“We’re excited to introduce this next calendar of programming designed to help forward-thinking dairy farmers meet their goals for productivity, professional growth and sustainability,” said Shelly Mayer, executive director of PDP and dairy farmer from Slinger, Wis. “Today’s dairy teams are expected to excel in multiple areas – animal care, sustainability, financial management, community relations, and more. PDP’s programming reflects those needs while incorporating simultaneous translation into Spanish and offering programs beyond our state borders.”

Signature programs that PDP will once again organize include:

• Agricultural Community Engagement® (ACE) Twilight Meetings (Aug. 25, 26, 27, 28, 2025) will feature farm tours and open conversations with community leaders on topics critical to rural Wisconsin. Organized by the Wisconsin Towns Association, Wisconsin Counties Association and PDP.
