What areas should you be watching to manage risk and navigate changing dairy market dynamics during this busy planting season? On Friday, May 8 from 12-1 p.m., the Center for Dairy Excellence will host a free “Protecting Your Profits” webinar titled “Spring Dairy Market Update: 6 Areas to Watch & Ways to Manage Risk.” Hear from Kathleen Noble Wolfley and Bryce Windecker from Ever.Ag who will share areas to watch within the dairy marketplace this spring and risk management insight.

“The dairy industry is full of uncertainty, and it’s important to remember that the markets and futures can change at the drop of a hat. Dairy producers can protect themselves and their farms by staying in tune with dairy markets and finding an integrated approach to risk management,” said Valerie Mason-Faith, Risk Education Manager at the Center. “This month’s webinar panelists will boil down the key market updates you need to know this spring and how they affect your approach to managing risk.”

During the webinar, Noble Wolfley and Windecker will share six areas to watch this spring:

  • Milk supply expectations (US and global)
  • Support in the Class IV market
  • Cheese market dynamics
  • Critical role of exports
  • Hot protein markets
