Liz Doornink, WDE Dairy Woman of the Year

The 2010 World Dairy Expo Dairy Woman of the Year is Liz Doornink of Baldwin, Wisconsin. Over the years Jon-De Farms have grown from 80 to 1,500 dairy cows. The large dairy is within the shadow of the Minneapolis-St Paul area and they have made an effort to be good neighbors, to let the neighbors know what is going on and what is going to happen at the farm. She says those non-farm people give them the social license to be in business.

Liz also has developed the program for hiring, training and evaluating employees on the farm.
