The National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management Program is accepting nominations for its annual FARM Excellence Awards, which recognize dairy farmers and industry professionals for achievements in on-farm management and continuous improvement. The awards honor excellence in four categories: Animal Care and Antibiotic Stewardship, Environmental Stewardship, Workforce Development and FARM Evaluator of the Year. “The FARM Program relies on farmers and FARM evaluators to advance the Program’s mission of continuous improvement,” said Dr. Meggan Hain, chief veterinary officer for the National Milk Producers Federation. “These awards honor participants who embody FARM Program values through their commitment to excellence.” Nominations will be accepted through Aug. 3 and may be submitted by dairy farmers, veterinarians, extension personnel, cooperative and processor staff, community members or the nominees themselves. Eligible farms must have a current FARM Program evaluation and be in good standing. Award winners will be recognized during the Dairy Joint Annual Meeting Oct. 19-21 in Kissimmee, Florida.
