Members of FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative can begin making reservations to attend their fall Member Appreciation Dinners, taking place across the cooperative’s seven-state membership territory during the months of November and December.
The purpose of these dinner meetings are to show appreciation to members for being a part of the cooperative, as well as to provide an update on cooperative programs and services and current events in the industry. Elections for leadership positions within the cooperative will also be held at each event.
“These appreciation dinners provide us a chance to not only show appreciation for our hard-working dairy farmer members, but also for board members and cooperative staff to connect with members, gather their input and feedback and to share information on what the cooperative has been doing on their behalf and the industry as a whole,” says John Rettler, dairy farmer from Neosho, WI and FarmFirst Board President. “This is also a great opportunity for members to meet other producers from their area and to discuss their operations and their views on what is going on in the industry.”
Meeting locations are listed below and can also be found at the cooperative’s website. Members must make reservations to attend in order to provide an accurate meal count. Reservations can be made by visiting www.farmfirstdairycooperative.com or by calling 608-244-3373. Deadlines for making reservations are a week prior to each meeting.
