Agri-Nutrition Consulting, LLC, hired Anne Proctor, PhD of Junction City as a dairy technical specialist.
In this position, Proctor will use her observation skills to draw out strengths and opportunities that she sees on-farm and will implement ways to deliver success for the farmer and ANC consultants.
Proctor grew up on a farm in the heart of Vermont’s dairy industry. She received her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from the University of Vermont, her master’s degree from the University of Delaware in animal science, researching silage additives, and her PhD with David Combs in dairy science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying feed intake regulation in dairy cattle.
