Dairy producers: You’re invited to a Dairy Discussion Group this July on a farm near you! These discussion groups are designed to be laidback and only a few hours long, running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. You’ll enjoy:
- An outlet for exchanging ideas with your peers about productivity and profitability.
- A facilitated discussion tailored to meet your needs. Your facilitator will help your Dairy Discussion Group define the specific topics that interest your group.
- A free lunch and farm tour.
Why join a Dairy Discussion Group? “I like my discussion group a lot. We meet three times a year and it’s a group of farmers discussing dairy. I learn a good bit just in discussion and debate. Our facilitator also does feed efficiency papers and we compare our DHIA numbers. I find great value in seeing people’s farms, seeing their papers, and discussing what worked and what didn’t,” shared Lonnie, a PA dairy farmer who participates in a discussion group.
