Dr. Michelle Schack
The majority of Americans have never visited a farm or ranch, and have little to no knowledge about farming or ranching. I know. I used to be one of them.
Now as a dairy cattle veterinarian, I have a strong appreciation for modern agriculture. Three out of five farmers and ranchers believe consumers don’t understand modern agriculture. Are you one of those three? What are you doing about it?
While we can all agree consumers are disconnected from agriculture, it’s time to recognize that farmers and ranchers are just as disconnected from consumers. It’s time to do more.
I’ll show your audience the importance of connecting agriculture and consumers. The importance of connecting farms to plates. The importance of connecting humans to other humans.
Focused on being both inspirational and action-oriented, audiences will get a fresh perspective on their business and their industry. Changing perceptions and forging stronger connections will bring more people to agriculture, improve accuracy of legislative discussions, allow people to make more informed food choices, and shape a more sustainable and positive future for agriculture.

About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Schack, the DairyDoc, is a dairy veterinarian, and social media content creator, and a highly sought after speaker.
She has helped dairy professionals and emerging agricultural leaders gain confidence in themselves and leverage their connections to create a positive and sustainable future. She grew up in Silicon Valley in California and fell in love with dairy cows during her schooling at University of California, Davis, where she received her undergraduate and her veterinary degree. As a result of years as a suburban kid, followed by years as a dairy veterinarian, she discovered that people in agriculture are isolated: from each other, and from consumers.
Dr. Michelle Schack rose as a social media content creator educating people about dairy farming and this ignited a passion in her. Combined with her experience and desire to help connect agriculture and consumers, she took to the stage with the goal of reaching as many people as possible with her message: it is time to connect the disconnect. Today, her talks will help people change their perspective and highlight the importance of bridging the gap within and beyond the agriculture industry.
If you are looking for someone to transform your event attendees and empower them to connect with others, Dr. Michelle is the answer for your next event.

Connecting with others to rise together: building connections in bovine veterinary medicine
