鈥淭he students act as consultants for dairy farmers,鈥� says Christian Molgat, FMT lecturer and team coach. 鈥淭eams present management recommendations to a panel of industry experts, and the host farm family. The Dairy Challenge experience has true value for students since almost all of them will be going into the dairy industry.鈥�
