Health and Safety on Dairy Farms
Earlier this month PNASH and partners from WSU and Washington State Dairy Federation hosted two LEADS trainings in Moses Lake and Lynden, Washington. Twenty farm leaders received certificates of accomplishment for completing the four-hour training on animal handling practices and leadership. Congratulations to all! If you would like to participate in future events, please contact ic8@uw.edu. Above: Moses Lake Training; photo by Elena Austin.
