Dairy Worker Training Videos

Posted October 17th, 2018

In the face of recent dairy worker challenges, a group of northeastern Wisconsin dairy producers and industry partners began to explore ways to be proactive and prepared. One of their solutions was dairy worker training videos. With grant funds from the Dairy's Foundation, they were able to create two training videos in English and Spanish to be used on dairy farms. The videos support dairy producers and dairy farm workers, and meet an industry-wide need for quality training for new and existing employees.

“It is a fast and efficient way to teach employees some of the basics of barn and feed management for cow comfort and health. If an employee knows why they need to do a task a certain way, they are more likely to do it.” - Dan Brick, Brickstead Dairy.
