Get a slice of the action by voting in the Professional Dairy Producers Foundation's Pie Eating Contest
The field is set, the polls ready to open. For the third year, the Professional Dairy Producers Foundation is announcing a strong field of pie eating candidates, including: Mark Diederichs, Manager, Lake Breeze Dairy; Matt Repinski, Master Agronomist, Winfield-Land O Lakes; Keith Engel, Milk Quality Specialist, GEA Farm Technologies; Dennis Frame, Timber Ridge Consulting and Professor Emeritus- UW Extension; Jeff Montsma, Producer Services Manager, AgroPur, and Steve Kelm, Professor, U.W.
