By Blake Jackson

The Pennsylvania Dairy Summit is back on February 5-6, 2025, in State College, PA. This nationally recognized conference offers a unique opportunity to network, learn, and gain inspiration for the future of your dairy operation.

The theme, "Designing Your Tomorrow Today," emphasizes proactive planning and staying ahead of the curve.

Join over 300 attendees for keynote addresses, breakout sessions, and ample time to connect with colleagues. Affordable registration fees are available thanks to sponsor support.

Keynote Speaker: David Moser of Oakridge Dairy

David Moser, from the largest single-site dairy farm in the Northeast, will share his insights on "Farming for the Future in a World Where People Know Their Farmers." Moser will discuss his team's approach to innovation, focusing on small details and building strong consumer connections.

"At Oakridge Dairy, we believe that anything is possible. We are willing to try anything to make even the smallest detail better for our team and our animals. It starts with an idea. Someone has to take a step," Moser shared. "Only one step is needed to start the next greatest thing. My encouragement is to be that person. Take that one step today. You never know where it may lead."
