The National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Program announced the nomination period is open for the 2024 FARM Excellence Awards. These awards spotlight participating farms and FARM Evaluators that demonstrate excellence in their engagement with the FARM Program. Awards are divided into four categories: Animal Care & Antibiotic Stewardship, Environmental Stewardship, Workforce Development, and FARM Evaluator of the Year. “These awards serve as a thank you to farmers and evaluators for their efforts in ensuring best management practices in on-farm social responsibility,” says Emily Yeiser (EYE-sehr) Stepp, FARM Program Executive Director. Nominations are accepted from fellow dairy farmers, community members, extensions, cooperative and processor staff, veterinarians, themselves, or others. Nominations are due by August 1. Nominated farms must have a current FARM Program evaluation in the respective category and be in good standing with the program.
