- Liz Doornink
For the fourth consecutive year, the 2010 honoree of World Dairy Expo’s Dairy Woman of the Year Award comes from the Dairy State. Liz Doornink of Baldwin will be recognized at the show for her dedication to the industry. The award is one of four top honors that World Dairy Expo presents annually.
Doornink is the co-leader of the American Farmers for the Advancement and Conservation of Technology. Her family owns Jon-De Farm, Inc., a dairy farm in Saint Croix County.
Raised as a city girl in New York, Liz now dedicates much of her time teaching people how to speak out and advocate for agriculture, correcting misconceptions about farming and sharing her values. She has also hosted hundreds of visitors to her farm and has given many interviews, including one to the BBC.
Jon-De Farm participates in the Wisconsin voluntary environmental stewardship program, thanks to Liz’s leadership.
Other top individuals to be honored at WDE include Donald Bennink, Bell, Florida, Dairyman of the Year; Horace Backus, Mexico, New York, Industry Person of the Yea; and Tadanaga Komori, Hokkaido, Japan, International Person of the Year.
The four recipients will be honored during World Dairy Expo at a special banquet held on September 29.
