What is the Central Plains Dairy Association?

The Central Plains Dairy Association is a non-profit trade organization that works to grow the dairy industry in the Central Plains states through education and communication activities.

Currently our events include:

  • The Central Plains Dairy Expo, a trade show held annually in March.
  • The Central Plains Dairy Golf Classic, a scramble golf tournament held first Wednesday in August.
  • The Central Plains Women’s Dairy Business Conference, a two-day conference held biannually in November.
