Minnesota State Fair Sponsorships
Each year, the MDGA partners with various organizations to sponsor youth exhibitors at the dairy goat competitions. We believe investing in these youth will provide future opportunities for growth of our industry and secure their place in agriculture. We provided funds towards three sponsorships in 2024. This year, we will provide for these three again, as well as a donation of $550 towards the Premier Youth Goat Sale, which included an educational clinic for the attendees.
