Speaker Bio
Rick Naerebout grew up on his family’s dairy farm in McBain, Michigan, where he learned the value of hard work, integrity, and an appreciation for agriculture that can only be learned on the farm. He moved west with his family after the family dairy was sold in the late 90s and shortly thereafter began a family and his schooling at the College of Southern Idaho and Idaho State University. Rick has been married to his wife, Angi, for 22 years, and together they have three daughters.

Rick has been with the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, Inc. since 2002, assisting with the Association’s environmental, legal, economic, legislative and stewardship efforts. The IDA is a progressive Association that represents all of Idaho’s 400 dairy farms. As CEO of the Association, he manages the day-to- day operations of the organization, which includes IDA Consulting Services, a division within IDA that provides on-farm services, through its highly skilled staff, ranging from nutrient management planning to dairy worker training and safety programs.
