Adam Shuknecht grew up in western New York where he was exposed to dairy farming and dairy cattle management through his community, family, and local Holstein shows. He studied Animal Science at Cornell University and graduated with BS in 2012. Upon graduation, he and his brothers started a small dairy farm in western New York. After establishing the farm, he followed his passion and joined Nobis Agri Science in Michigan as a Ruminant Nutritionist where he worked with local dairymen to improve profitability through sound ration balancing and management consulting. Having explored the supplier side of the industry with Kemin and Native Microbials as a Key Account Manager and Senior Sales Manager respectively, he has developed a broad perspective on the industry that he can use to benefit dairymen as a Nutritionist with Progressive Dairy Solutions.
