We would like to update you on the situation with our performance programs staffing. We will begin our search for a new performance programs manager (PPM) next week and will accept application through August 15th. We will begin the selection process once the application date closes. In the interim, we ask that you please send questions regarding the final linear schedule and milk records to LA_DHIR@adga.org.
Please note that if the former PPM had reached out to you regarding a linear appraisal stop, those stops are still valid. The September schedule is in the process of being finalized now. Those herd owners will be notified once the schedule has been fixed. If you have not heard from us yet regarding a stop, then you have not been scheduled to date. Other trips may be scheduled later in the linear appraisal season based upon availability. We will process refunds prior to December 31st for those herdowners who were not scheduled during the 2025 linear appraisal season.
Please continue to contact the ADGA office via email at performanceprograms@adga.org or call (828) 286-3801, option 4 with any questions you may have related to performance programs. You may also submit a support ticket at ADGA Support Center; please take care to select the appropriate help topic.
During this transition, a subject matter expert (SME) working in coordination with our appraisers, will finalize all linear appraisal stops for October and later. This person will also be available to assist the performance programs team with any questions/issues that may arise. Again, we ask that you please send questions regarding the final linear schedule and milk records to LA_DHIR@adga.org.
Thank you for your patience during this time of transition.
