You’re Welcome! The Retention Task Force has taken the guesswork out of finding these materials for you! See below for a few key articles organized by how much time you have.
If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please reach out to any member of the Retention Task Force.

ATI team wins Ohio Dairy Challenge
Submitted by Frances Whited, whited.16@osu.edu
The three-person team of Kenneth Ramsier, Owen Greene, and Korey Oechsle took home first place at the Ohio Dairy Challenge, held on Nov. 1-2 at Mills Dairy Farm in Hayesville, Ohio. Eighteen teams from the Columbus campus, Wilmington College and Ohio State ATI competed. ATI fielded two teams, with the second consisting of Paige Holdridge, Shiela Miller and Felipe daCosta.
The Ohio Dairy Challenge presents students with the opportunity to act as consultants to a dairy operation. Teams receive some basic information about the farm then conduct an on-site visit, where they have about two hours to look at all aspects of the farm and speak to farm staff. Teams then develop recommendations and make a presentation to a panel of judges.
The event was sponsored by ADM, ST Genetics, Biomin, Cargill Animal Nutrition, Purina Animal Nutrition, and Provimi. Many thanks to Mills Dairy Farm for hosting the event! And congratulations, Kenneth, Owen, and Korey!
