Dairy Profit/Target Team Training

cowheadshotWeb-based training for new Profit/Target Teams

This workshop is for dairy teams newly enrolled in the Center for Dairy Excellence Profit and Target Teams program. Any dairy producer in Pennsylvania may apply to join the program. Financial support and other resources are available to those who are accepted into the program.

Penn State Dairy Alliance has been providing training for new teams since the inception of this CDE program. Over the years, Dairy Alliance has provided hundreds of new dairy advisory teams the knowledge and skills necessary to get off to a successful start.

The training is designed as a two-part series for new team members. The first part is a 90-minute webinar about the basics of successful team operation. The second part is a short one-hour follow-up discussion to assess team progress and enable networking across teams within a region for continued successful team operation. The second part may be completed as either a local, face-to-face meeting or on a conference call. 

Teams will learn the following during this training:

  • Basic steps for forming a team

  • Establishing team goals

  • Monitoring team progress

  • Stages of team development

  • The team tools that work best at different stages
