• Developing young adults into strong leaders

    Fond du Lac County Dairy Project provides leadership opportunities for our youth to teach and mentor younger members in the dairy project.

  • Connecting 4-H and FFA Dairy Project to real-world agriculture

    Fond du Lac County's Dairy Project is more than showing dairy cattle. Dairy project members have the opportunity to learn more about the dairy industry through dairy judging, dairy quiz bowl, and the dairy management project.

We teach, learn, lead and serve, connecting people with the University of Wisconsin, and engaging with them in transforming lives and communities.
