Details
Plans are underway
for the 75th Annual MMPA 4-H Milk Marketing Tour. The two-day event is
designed to offer students information about Michigan’s dairy industry,
milk marketing and cooperatives. We invite 4-H members, FFA members and
other young people interested in the dairy industry and/or milk
marketing that are 15-18 years old (age as of Jan. 1, 2012) to
participate in this fun and educational event. You do not have to belong
to 4-H or FFA to attend the tour.
Adults may also attend the
tour as chaperones. MMPA does not require a chaperone to attend the tour
with a participant but we do encourage chaperones to attend, especially
if a county is sending a large group.
MMPA provides all
registration fees, lodging and meals. The only cost to participate is
your transportation to Novi. Registration is due June 5 and will be
limited to the first 30 students who sign up. Any student that has
attended the tour before is not eligible to participate again. If you
have any questions regarding the tour, contact Dr. Joe Domecq, Extension
Dairy Youth Specialist at (517) 353-7855 or the MMPA Member Relations
Department at (248) 474-6672.
