Ohio Sustainable Dairy Program (Large Producers)
The Ohio Sustainable Dairy Program (OSDP) was developed as an on-farm educational program to assist and train various core groups of large dairy producers and their veterinarian to identify, implement, and accomplish sustainable business goals through an on-farm collaborative learning process. Demonstration is also a very important component of this learning process. The various core groups are made up of large dairy producers (> 500 cows) and their respective veterinary practitioner and/or practice. Each of the core groups attend six single-day hands-on intensive workshops (or modules) held on host farms or other pre-selected locations (modules are typically held bimonthly).
