IDFA issued a brief survey this week to members and others in the dairy industry to learn more about current energy management practices in dairy processing facilities. If you haven't responded yet, please complete the three-minute survey here. Preliminary results will be announced next week at IDFA's Sustainability Symposium, April 14-15 in Chicago, but the survey will remain open until the end of April.

Also on the symposium agenda is Walt Tunnessen, national program manager ENERGY STAR for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who leads the industry-government partnership in the dairy industry and will discuss how to achieve superior energy efficiency. There's still time to register for the symposium.
