The Center for Dairy Excellence’s “All Things Dairy” monthly conference call aims to provide a platform for organizations and industry partners to share timely updates, resources, programs, and upcoming events relevant to the dairy community.

“There are several exciting grant opportunities that just opened through the Center for Dairy Excellence and other organizations. These grants can help dairy producers invest in a project or piece of technology that boosts milk production, invest in a transformation or modernization for their farm, or work with a consultant on a specific area of their dairy business,” shared Valerie Mason-Faith, Risk Education Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence. “We hope you’ll join us for our December call to learn more about these opportunities and tips for completing a thorough and detailed application.”

During the December 10th call, listeners will hear:

She will also share information about Transformation and Transition Team Grants along with Dairy Decisions Consultants (DDC) grants – and how these opportunities can help dairy producers work one-on-one with consultants and trusted advisors.

In World Without Cows, journalists Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth take viewers on a global journey to explore the essential role of cattle in agriculture, food systems, and rural economies. Through interviews with farmers, ranchers, and environmental scientists, the documentary challenges the growing wave of misinformation surrounding cattle and climate change.

Prompted by the rise of unscientific narratives that paint livestock in a negative light, Michael and Whitworth set out to tell a more balanced story—one rooted in evidence and lived experience. The film highlights the cultural significance of cows, their contribution to global nutrition, and the innovations within the industry aimed at reducing environmental impact.

World Without Cows is a compelling reminder of the complexity and importance of livestock in a sustainable future.
