The drive to acquire, the drive to comprehend, the drive to defend and the drive to bond are the fundament of recognizing employees so they can see this industry as the one to from a path in their lives.”
“Marcos is so passionate, and he wants the farm to be successful,” said Sandy Larson, owner of Larson Acres Dairy. “I never doubt he’s going to do the best job possible. He is a great team player especially with the rest of his coworkers.”
The best employees add value to the dairy by thriving in their roles, maintaining their responsibilities, creating a safe and positive work environment for their co-workers, and speaking highly of their employers, both on and off the farm in the Alltech Wisconsin region (which includes Wisconsin, Minnesota and northern Illinois).
