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 17th annual Dairy Financial and Risk Management Conference. Titled “Rewriting the Future,” the conference is planned for Wednesday, September 9, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the PA Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pa.
“For Pennsylvania dairy farmers, and the ag lenders and consultants who work with them, it often feels like we’re navigating the impossible. From tight margins to family dynamics, being successful — and profitable — in the dairy industry often starts with rewriting the future and reimagining what your legacy looks like,” said Valerie Mason-Faith, Risk Education Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence. “At this year’s conference, you’ll hear from a panel of dairy producers who have redefined their futures and built unique partnerships with someone outside their immediate family.”
In addition to the producer panel, attendees will hear from speakers who will offer perspective on how to navigate difficult conversations and dynamics to clear the path for productive family business transitions for your clients. They will drill down on what lenders need to know about dairy markets and risk management.
