About The Position

Dairy One Cooperative is seeking a Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) Technician to provide dairy farms with timely, accurate, and meaningful data to support production, profitability, and herd-management decisions. The technician works on-site at customer dairy farms to collect data and provide information and guidance.

The position emphasizes attention to detail, passion for the livestock industry, and building relationships with farmers in the assigned circuit and with new farms. Dairy One is based in Ithaca, New York, serves approximately 2,500 dairy farm members throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, and has more than 250 employees.
