0026 - Virtual Dairy Visit: Large Western Dairy
In this course you will visit Jake Kelber's large-scale dairy operation and complete a risk assessment and management plan. You will have the opportunity to examine the physical environment and listen to what Mr. Kelber has to say about his practices. Under resources to your right we provide you with some reference material for you to read and forms that you should print out. Jake completed some preliminary forms about his goals that you need to consider in preparing the management plan. You definitely need to read them and you might want to print them out for later references. (You will be referred to these resources in the farm visit.) You will need to print out the Risk Assessment and Management Plan (RAMP) form and complete it while you explore the farm and listen to Jake. At the end you will be asked to transfer your scores to an online form and print it. After completing the form you'll have a short presentation from an expert on how he would complete the Kelber’s RAMP. To complete the Virtual Farm Visit for continuing education credit you will need to take the short quiz based on the expert’s opinion. The virtual farm visit is rich in pictures, audio clips, and navigation. Therefore, it takes a while to download (obviously longer if you are working over a modem). However, downloading the whole thing at once will assure that your visit goes well. So start the download and go get a cup of coffee. We won’t start without you!
