Inspiring the theme for the 2022 PA Dairy Summit, taking place on Feb. 2 & 3 in Lancaster, PA, is one of our Keynote speakers, dairy farmer and U.S. Olympian Elle Purrier St. Pierre. Elle will share her inspiring story with us during this year’s conference along with three other featured speakers.

During the event, you’ll be able to network with your peers in breakout sessions that cover real-time industry issues and herd, farm, and financial management strategies. We can’t wait to reunite the dairy industry in person at the 2022 event, where we can reflect on the last year and look ahead to how we can continue to go for the gold in the future.
