I-29 Moo University annual call for sponsorship
2021-2022 ANNUAL Call for Sponsorship
Annual sponsorship runs from July 1-June 30 each year
Deadline for sponsorship due by June 15, 2021
On behalf of I-29 Moo University, a 5-state collaboration of Extension professionals (IA, MN, SD, NE, ND), we are inviting you to help with sponsorship of our entire year’s activities. We depend on sponsorships from companies such as yours to keep the cost affordable for participants. If you have been a sponsor in the past, we want to thank you for your past support and ask that you continue your sponsorship this year. If you have never been a sponsor, please consider this opportunity to promote your company by supporting these programs for the dairy industry and dairy beef feeders. I-29 Moo University works extensively to reach the growing dairy and dairy beef industries, representing over 896,000 milking cows and nearly 900,000 dairy beef steers on feed. We offer excellent programming throughout the year to meet the ever-changing needs of dairy producers and industry professionals throughout the five-state region addressing timely topics, setting up tours, and connecting progressive ideas.
Historically, in the 5-state region we have offered…
- Three annual in-person programs
- Dairy field days
- Webinars featuring timely dairy topics with sponsor recognition, with over 2,000 live and recorded viewings annually.
- Nearly 800 people view our monthly e-newsletter from locations worldwide, including several foreign countries each month
- Twice monthly podcasts with 2,000 downloads and nearly 1,000 unique listeners
Visit our webpage!
We have a webpage for the dairy industry and dairy beef feeders. Visit us to see upcoming events and webinars, register for programs, access to recordings and proceedings, plus our current list of sponsors.
Staying responsive to the industry…
We recognize the pandemic has changed how I-29 Moo-University delivers programs as outreach has now gone beyond the five-state region and even internationally! We are currently conducting a needs assessment via an on-line survey. This will help us stay current and relevant to the I-29 dairy industry and dairy beef feeders by providing educational topics in delivery methods most often used by participants.
