PaJDHIA Sets
Spring Conferences
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) It is time once again for
the Pa.DfflA technicians to meet
for their annual spring conference.
Each year Pa.DHIA holds three
seasonal sets of conferences
(spring, summer and fall) to furth
er update and educate each
technician.
Spring conference allows time
for each technician to interact and
to exchange ideas with each other.
as well as being able to interact
with the guests who attend each
meeting, such as extension agents
and artificial inseminator
personnel.
There are a total of 14 confer
ences held at different locations.
Each technician selects the appro
priate conference closest to his or
her area. This allows each group of
technicians to be relatively small,
which contributes to better interac
tion as well as being able to assist
in keeping traveling time at a mini
mum for most technicians.
This year’s conference promises
to be as exciting as ever with the
ability for each technician to give
their dairymen Westfalia Dairy
plan reports on test day.

The conference agenda includes
a round-table discussion facilitated
by Dean Amick, Pa.DHIA director
of field operations. This discussion
is set up in a way that each techni
cian has the opportunity to ask
quesitons or voice any concerns.
The topics of discussion during
the round-table forum are to
include the new Innovative Prog
ram, flexibility of programs, as
well as scheduling.
The highlight of the conference
is to be the introduction of the
revised Herd Summary I, which
allows the dairymen more flexibil
ity in the recording of his feed
information.
A new update will be imple
mented on each technician’s com
puter to assist in handling the new
revisions.
Each of the meetings is sche
duled to start at 10 a.m. and end at
3 p.m.
Technicians should remember
to bring their laptop computer,
Westfalia Dairy Plan Manual, and
