DRMS
Dairy Records Management Systems (DRMS) provides records processing services for our DHIA records. The largest dairy records processing center (DRPC) in the country, DRMS processes over 16,200 herds and 2.2 million cows per month and is the developer of the popular PCDART herd management software. Vermont DHIA chose to use DRMS as our records processing center in the late 1980s because of their fast turn-around and great service, qualities which they are still known for today. Vermont DHIA has representation in DRMS as well. Brett Denny, Assistant Manager serves on both the Priorities (Development) Committee and the Advisory Board.
