There, the ranking of the top finalists and announcement of the regional champion for the 2024 Agropur Club of Excellence for Milk Quality Award were revealed and we are proud to announce that Macdonald Campus Farm is the winner of this award for the Mont茅r茅gie-West region.
Congratulations and thank you to our incredible farm and support staff whose hard work achieved these excellent results! It is a major achievement to win this award in a research and education farm where many people are involved in milking and barn activities.
