Tonya Van Slyke: Executive Director of NEDPA

In this interview, we talk with the Executive Director of the Northeast Dairy Producers Association, Tonya Van Slyke. Tonya explains how NEDPA supports dairy farms and what some of the most pressing current issues are within the industry. Tonya touches on how important it is to continuously focus on environmental stewardship by providing a unique perspective on how we can support and guide farms in their sustainability efforts. We identify that one of the biggest challenges when working for an industry-supporting organization, and many other parts of agriculture, is that sometimes you can put a ton of effort into something and not see the results you were hoping for in the end.
