Teaming up to support Action for Healthy Kids

We had a great week in Madison last week and, if you missed anything, you can visit our Hoard’s @ Expo blog for a recap. Thank you to those of you who followed along with us on the blog. We’re back here on the HD Notebook blog for the rest of the year.

While we were at World Dairy Expo, we had the proud opportunity to present a check to Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK.) The group addresses the epidemic of overweight, sedentary, and undernourished youth by focusing on changes in schools to improve nutrition and increase physical activity. The National Football League and the dairy industry are two of the program’s major sponsors. We’re part of that. We teamed up with Ag-Bag Products, Bayer Animal Health, Fort Dodge Animal Health, New Direction Equipment (NDE), Pfizer Animal Health, and Select Sires to present a check for $10,500.
