Dairy Financial Consultants and Representatives Are Invited to the Annual Event
Dairy financial consultants, lending representatives, and interested dairy producers are encouraged to save the date for the 15th annual Dairy Financial and Risk Management Conference. Titled “Future-Proofing Our Farms,” the conference is planned for Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel in Harrisburg, Pa.
The conference will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on September 11. Those who are working with dairy clients to protect their risk, navigate the ever-changing dairy marketplace, and make financial decisions with the future in mind are encouraged to attend. Speakers will lead sessions focused on dairy supply, annual dairy performance indicators, succession planning and business continuity, and more. Three Pennsylvania dairy producers will also take part in a panel discussion about emerging technologies and trends at the farm level.
“There’s no foolproof way to navigate the ever-changing dairy markets, but what dairy producers can do is strive to be future-proof,” said LeeAnn McLaughlin, Dairy Policy and Industry Relations Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence. “At this year’s Dairy Financial and Risk Management Conference, we’ll learn how dairy producers can future-proof their farms, their mindsets, and their risk management strategies to embrace emerging trends, ever-changing markets, and evolving technology.”

“The in-person networking at this conference is always energizing. The speakers help give me a rounded and insightful view of what is transpiring in the world of dairy as I dialogue and strategize with clients. Oftentimes I come away with knowledge of some sort of new strategy or emerging technology,” said Lee Wenger of Horizon Farm Credit who attended the conference in previous years.
