Still time to register for dairy roundtables

Dairy Industry Professional Roundtable Meetings are scheduled for this April and May

There is still time to register to attend one of the Dairy Industry Professional Roundtable Meetings this April and May in State College, Mansfield, Martinsburg, Grove City, Carlisle and Lancaster. The roundtable meetings will include a discussion on current market dynamics, new risk management programs available to dairy farm families and resources to help farm families calculate their cost of production and better understand their risks.

The roundtable meetings are designed specifically for dairy professionals who are working day in and out with Pennsylvania’s dairy farm families. The meetings will include the steps involved in calculating cost of production and developing a risk management plan. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to share in a roundtable discussion about current issues in the industry and what they are seeing within their respective areas. All the meetings will include a meal followed by discussion.
