American Dairy Association North East invites dairy farmers and industry partners to the annual dairy checkoff luncheon featuring Domino’s® pizza at Ag Progress Days on Thursday, Aug. 15, at noon, in the Special Events Building. Pre-registration is not required.

Ag Progress Days is set for Aug. 13-15, at 2710 W. Pine Grove Road, Pennsylvania Furnace, Pennsylvania.

“We welcome all dairy farmers and industry representatives to join us for the checkoff luncheon at Ag Progress Days,” said Cindy Weimer, Senior Vice President, Industry Relations for American Dairy Association North East. “We’re pleased to provide an update about the sales-driven local programming we’re conducting on behalf of dairy farmers, and to highlight one of our national partnerships by serving Domino’s pizza.”

Developing partnerships with influential, globally recognized foodservice companies like Domino’s drives dairy sales and builds trust for dairy with consumers. Since dairy checkoff joined forces with Domino’s in 2009, the number one pizza company by sales has increased cheese use by one billion pounds milk equivalent.
