Libby Eiholzer

Libby Eiholzer is a dairy technical services specialist for Cargill, where she assists dairy farmers and their employees in WNY. Libby brings to the role nine years of experience in working with dairy farms from her time with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s NWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops team. Libby’s expertise in supporting farm owners and employees gives her a unique perspective to understand the needs of both. 

Growing up on a dairy in Central NY, studying dairy science and Spanish at Cornell University, and volunteering in Guatemala with the Peace Corps informed Libby’s decision to work in the dairy industry. Several years ago, she completed a master’s degree in Human Resource Management from Cornell to serve the growing need for farms to professionalize their approach to management. She loves helping farm teams improve their daily processes and communication to achieve greater success. 

Libby’s husband Garrett is a partner in Ivy Lakes Dairy, LLC in Stanley, NY, and she enjoys helping him on the farm in her spare time. When not on a farm, Libby loves to spend time gardening, hanging out with her dog and training for triathlons.
