Dairy Alliance
Establishes Toll Free
Number And Website
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.)
Dairy Alliance, a new initiative launched by
Penn State College of Ag Sciences, has estab
lished a toll free number for dairy informa
tion. That number is 1-888-373-PADAIRY.
The line is being staffed from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday through Friday. Messages can
be left after hours. The goal of this dairy line
is to give dairy producers a single point of
contact where they can:
• Get information about educational
events in their local area.
• Find sources of information about vari
ous dairy topics.
• Obtain contact information for agricul
tural professionals both inside and outside of
the Penn State system.
In addition to the phone line, a website for
Dairy Alliance is now located at www.dair
yalliance.org. The website contains a dairy
calendar of events and a weekly feature. The
weekly feature is updated each Monday and
highlights people, programs, and events in
the Pennsylvania dairy industry.
A database of information, including publi
cations, websites, technical bulletins, and per
sonal contact information for dairy educators
and agribusiness professionals is currently
being built. Once it is completed, the database
will be accessible through the website,
through your Icoal Cooperative Extension
office, or through the Dairy Alliance phone
number 1-888-373-PADAIRY.
