Special deliveries are being made to Dairyland crews this week in celebration of National Lineworker Appreciation Day! Dairyland and our member cooperatives are taking the opportunity anytime this month to honor the professionals who keep the lights on day and night, in all kinds of weather and conditions. 

Dairyland proudly employs 47 safe, dedicated and highly skilled lineworkers: 24 Journeyman lineworkers and 23 apprentice lineworkers who work safely in challenging conditions across our four-state service territory. Dairyland’s lineworkers are an integral part of Dairyland's critical work force. No matter what, our transmission professionals deliver on Dairyland’s mission to power local communities by safely maintaining the complex infrastructure needed for a reliable supply of energy. 

Our line professionals span many areas and levels, including apprentice, journeymen, lead, foreperson, management and safety positions. Anyone who has had power restored after an outage—so, everyone—knows and appreciates the critical service provided by lineworkers. Through the Restoration of Power in an Emergency (ROPE) program, Dairyland’s crews also provide a helping hand to regional utilities during outage events. #thankalineworker
