Rane Betts from Profiles said the
national convention that will be
held in Pittsburgh next year is an
opportunity for Pennsylvania

other parts of the nation. And it’s
an opportunity to promote your

mended that dairy farmers get
involved in this opportunity and
plan to attend at least part of the
convention.
