Dairy expo speakers address getting through tough financial times
The manager of this month’s Heart of America Dairy Expo in Springfield, Missouri, says the program addresses getting through the depressed dairy economy.
“With the nationally known speakers we have coming in that are going to address the tough financial times, how to cope with it on the farm, and our producer panel’s going to talk about that too,” Drennan told Brownfield Ag News. “It has been a tough year for dairy, and the prospects right now aren’t very bright either for 2017.”
Dave Drennan tells Brownfield that Dairy Development Manager Gary Sipiorski from Madison, Wisconsin, will talk about how to position the farm financially. A panel of dairy farmers will discuss managing during tough financial times.
“Dealing with our bankers and our lending institutions is a key element right now for all farmers, not only dairy,” said Drennan, “but we know credit is tough to come by, and with feed prices like they are and corn prices, it all effects livestock operations and dairy particularly.”
Drennan says the program, January 19 through the 21st, also addresses feeding strategies, markets and research. The Expo and trade show are at the Ramada Oasis Hotel in Springfield, Missouri.
