A Re-cap of the 2024 WODPA Conference & Trade Show

The annual WODPA Conference & Trade Show was held this year at the Peppermill in Reno, Nevada! Attendees enjoyed a relaxing and fun time away from the farm and everyday stress. We had a great lineup of speakers, trade show vendors and hot topics as well as a time for socializing, a profitable live auction and finally, our highly anticipated Maui Vacation opportunity drawing. We were encouraged to share our ideas and thoughts as well as learn from the experiences of others in our industry. We shared our year in review and showed how we have been representing the organic dairy industry because of our farmers and stakeholders supporting us, both financially and otherwise.
