Since this interactive online educational program began eight years ago, dairy producers, agricultural education teachers, veterinarians, feed salesmen and others have challenged themselves to complete this certificate program to enhance their knowledge of the dairy industry.

URBANA, Ill. -- Solid academic research, real-world experiences, and interaction with dairy professionals are three reasons why Ernie Crouzer chose to obtain an accredited dairy certificate from the University of Illinois.

For Crouzer, a procurement manager for Zinpro Corporation in Wisconsin, the opportunity to gain educational experiences based on what's really happening on a commercial dairy farm today was something he couldn't pass up. Crouzer and eight other students recently earned U of I Graduate School Accredited Dairy Certificates from the comfort of their homes across the world.

The 2009-2010 graduates include Crouzer, Elizabeth Amos of Colorado, Merrill Folsom of Georgia, John Warriner of Illinois, Carrie Bisnett of New York, Karissa Brobst of North Dakota, Kevin Baillie of Pennsylvania, Ed Simpson of Texas, and Glenn Buchner of Ontario, Canada.
