MONROE — Five students accepted into the 2025 Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) Cornerstone Dairy Academy earned a scholarship to the program from the Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation (WROF). Recipients include Will Cordes, Stratford; Stacy Eberly, Monroe; Regan Kramer, Ames, Iowa; Chelsea Scheider, De Pere; and Max Schenkenberg, Poynette. Collectively, the students attended the Influential Leadership and Servant Leadership pillars of the Cornerstone program.
Eberle brings a range of dairy experiences to her work, including owning and operating a dairy farm and currently serving as landlord and mentor to a new dairy farmer. She has also served on local, state and national dairy and agriculture-related boards and looks forward to developing knowledgeable confidence by attending the Influential Leadership pillar.
“One of our goals at the Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation is developing tomorrow’s dairy professionals and industry leaders,” said Dr. Jerry Gaska, DVM, WROF board member. “We are proud to support these five recipients with scholarships to Cornerstone Dairy Academy, particularly since that program is designed to equip attendees with the communication and leadership skills they need.”
The Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation is a non-profit organization that began in 1934 to purchase Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-guaranteed loans following the Great Depression to stimulate Wisconsin’s agricultural economy. Today, WROF invests in the education of people from rural Wisconsin so they can transform and improve the economic health and quality of life in their rural areas.
Presented by the Professional Dairy Producers March 11-12 at Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis., Cornerstone Dairy Academy is a three-pillar leadership-development program designed to build the skills of dairy farmers and industry professionals who want to lead with purpose, character and integrity.
