IDP has put a tremendous opportunity together for folks to attend a fascinating 2-day bus tour to Wisconsin on June 5-6! This opportunity is for dairy farmers, family members, students, and people involved in the dairy industry.
The bus will pick up attendees in Lafayette and also in Merrillville for the trip to America's Dairyland. The visit will include stops to Stewart-Peterson, a slaughter plant in Green Bay (American Foods Group, LLC), and four very well-managed dairy farms and/or calf raising facilities.

The cost for IDP members is $125 per person (including employees and family members). Students can register for the bargain price of $75 per person! If you are not an IDP member, you can register for $250, but we strongly suggest you become a member for $50!
General registration does not include lodging. Reservations for lodging need to be made by May 20th to get the special rate of $92, which includes breakfast. Call the Radisson Green Bay to make lodging reservations: 920-494-7300. All other meals and bus transportation costs are included in the initial registration fee. The Radisson Green Bay is connected to a casino, and if you are interested, there will be some time to visit it.
To register, become a sponsor, or just have questions, please contact Doug Leman at 317-695-8228.
Those who attended the IDP Regional Dairy meetings in Shipshewana or Decatur will remember Dr. Lance Fox and his talks on calf care. Well, Dr. Fox is a man of many talents, and we are so pleased to be able to hear him give his motivational talk "No Place but UP!", detailing his journey climbing Mount Everest and much more. Dr. Fox will speak during the evening portion of the Summer Tour on June 5 in Green Bay, Wisconsin! From one who has already heard Dr. Fox speak "This is worth the entire tour right here! One of the best talks I've ever heard!" So make plans to register for the 2013 Summer Farm & Industry Tour today! The deadline to get the guaranteed group rate for hotel reservations has now been extended until May 20, but don't delay! Download a brochure with all the details here.
