Kayla Steffel, AgSource’s northeast region field technician, completed the intermediate field technician training session Sept. 1-2 at the AgSource headquarters in Verona.
Intermediate training brings staff together in an educational setting to focus on the foundation of dairy herd improvement services, including management reports, data collection and herd products. Technicians receive hands-on training and interaction with instructors.
“We need to make sure that field technicians are staying current. Intermediate training will serve to better prepare them for the demands of working with a very diverse dairy industry,” said Erin Berger, AgSource’s director of outreach, training and sales support.
Participants had a chance to meet the customer service representatives and see how a DHI report is processed. They gained a better understanding of AgSource policies and procedures and the on-farm data collection software used by AgSource, DairyComp 305.
AgSource is the largest, full-service DHI provider in the country, conducting research and development, field data collection, laboratory analysis and diagnostics, management information, meter service and outreach and education.
AgSource is a member-owned cooperative and a subsidiary of Cooperative Resources International.
