The Dairy Industry Scholars group in Fair Oaks, Indiana. From left to right: Deanna Karandish, Julie Niemeyer, Rachel Firle, and Charlotte Jackson.Milk—much more than just a cow! When I had the privilege to travel over winter break with the Dairy Industry Scholars, I learned so much about the dairy industry. Growing up on a dairy farm, I thought I had a pretty diverse knowledge base about milk and other dairy products. Little did I know what I was getting myself into.
I applied for the Dairy Industry Scholars several months ago with the intent of networking with top notch industry leaders during the week long program. While the Dairy Industry Scholars has more of a food science focus than a production agriculture emphasis, I was intrigued with learning more about dairying on a different level.
I had an amazing experience learning through hands-on experiences with T.C. Jacoby and Company (sponsor of the program). We traveled to four states in one day! We tasted string cheese that melted in your mouth, went on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, and even watched a calf being born.
The application for the Dairy Industry Scholars is short and sweet—and the rewards are great. Applications are available in the fall through CAFNR Career Services. Apply and you're sure to have the experience of a lifetime!
