Meet Amber Keel - one of the many PDPW staff driven to serve the dairy industry! "From my earliest memories, I held a clear aspiration to be involved in the dairy industry. Even as a toddler, I gravitated towards the calves, and as time went on, I effortlessly incorporated farm chores into my daily life. Whether it was helping milk cows, handling small bales, or clearing stones from the fields, each task instilled in me the values of resilience and unwavering commitment. It's this profound appreciation for the dairy industry that fuels my excitement to contribute to this organization, aiding dairy farmers in their pursuit of knowledge and growth."
