FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative Invites Members to Fall Dinners

FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative members can now make reservations for the upcoming fall Member Appreciation Dinners. These events will occur throughout November and December in the cooperative’s seven-state membership territory.

The dinners aim to express gratitude to members for their support and to update them on cooperative programs, services, and current industry events. Additionally, leadership elections will take place at each gathering.

According to John Rettler, FarmFirst Board President, “These appreciation dinners allow us to acknowledge our dedicated dairy farmer members. Furthermore, board members and cooperative staff can connect with members, gather their input, and share important information about the cooperative’s efforts and the broader industry.” He adds that these events also provide a great opportunity for members to meet local producers, discuss their operations, and share perspectives on industry developments.

Meeting locations are listed below and also available on the cooperative’s website. Members must make reservations to ensure accurate meal counts. To reserve a spot, members can visit www.farmfirstdairycooperative.com or call 608-244-3373. Reservation deadlines occur one week before each meeting.
