Walnut Ridge Dairy has been a valued partner to PRO-DAIRY for many years, welcoming the program’s involvement in applied research projects, educational initiatives and on-farm demonstration activities. The farm’s willingness to collaborate and its leadership within the dairy community have helped advance practical solutions and foster learning opportunities that benefit New York dairy producers.
“Walnut Ridge Dairy has consistently opened its doors to support research, education and industry development efforts,” Overton said. “Partnerships like these are critical to the success of PRO-DAIRY and the continued growth of New York’s dairy industry.”
As executive director of the New York Animal Agriculture Coalition, Jensen has played a leading role in strengthening public understanding of dairy farming and agriculture. Through educational programs and outreach initiatives, she has brought dairy farmers, industry professionals and consumers together to build trust and awareness around modern food production and animal agriculture.
“Eileen Jensen has been an exceptional partner in agricultural outreach and communication,” Overton said. “Her dedication to connecting consumers with farmers and sharing the story of New York agriculture has had a meaningful impact on our industry and complements the mission of PRO-DAIRY.”
PRO-DAIRY’s mission is to facilitate New York State economic development by increasing the profitability and competitiveness of its dairy industry. PRO-DAIRY specialists have made a positive impact on the technical knowledge, management skills and economic strength of New York State’s dairy industry since 1988.
