At Hoard’s Dairyman, we are extremely lucky to work with talented professionals from across the entire spectrum of our dairy community. From feed and nutrition to farm finance to inspired artists, we work with the best of the best.
This year at World Dairy Expo, we are offering three opportunities to meet and interact with a few of our favorite contributors, whom we have worked with to create new resources and sources of inspiration for all to enjoy.
Mark these events on your calendar, and we will see you at the show! All book signings will be held at the Hoard’s Dairyman booth in the lower level of the Coliseum as you enter from the barns (Arena Level –AL 213 & 217).

2. Matti Powers Book Signing (Christmas in Dairyland)
Friday, October 5, 2018
12:00 – 1:00 PM
Matti Powers grew up on a small hobby farm outside of Clinton, Wis. with summers spent showing heritage poultry, exploring the woods around her house, and writing and illustrating stories with her two sisters. Her art is inspired by the writings of Brian Jacques and C.S. Lewis, and her desire to make people smile when they see her collection of whimsical animal friends. Her beautiful illustrations are paired with some of the most beloved stories written by Wisconsin’s David (Dr. Dave) Dickson in the Christmas in Dairyland poem book, and help make his words come to life!
