Young Producer Get-Away a "Wild" Weekend (2/4/08)
This past weekend marked the start of another Accelerated Genetics Young Producer program in Wisconsin Dells, WI. The 2008 Winter Get-Away was open to any producer-farm owners or herdspeople in the Accelerated Genetics member areas. This wild weekend get-away at the Kalahari Resort in the Dells was designed for young producers - individuals, couples and their families. It was a great way to get rid of the winter blahs, get off the farm to spend time enjoying life and learn something new. This was just one weekend of four Young Producer programs during the year. A leadership conference is scheduled for late March; the summer meltdown weekend for June and a fall conference in late autumn.
Combining a mixture of fun activities (Safari dress code, waterpark time, scavenger hunts, etc.) and informational seminars (such as farm safety, balancing work and family life, networking), it was an action-packed weekend.
Look for the complete highlights from the Accelerated staff on the All Breeds Blog from Holstein World. And be sure to watch for photos from the Kalahari, as this will also serve as the official site of this June’s National Holstein Convention!
