Topics Covered

The future of dairy may look blurry, but all we have to do is bring our lens into focus. Learn how you and your dairy clients can create a clear vision for future profitability.  Sessions include:

• A Dairy Market Snapshot: 2022 Highlights and 2023 Market Forces – Milk prices might look good for 2022, but how soon are they going to fall? This session will provide a snapshot of 2022 dairy markets and analyze future market forces that will affect the dairy economy heading into 2023.
• A Farm-Level View: Producer Panel Discussion – Several dairy producer panelists will share what their lens looks like and how they are leveraging grants and resources, including consultants and profit teams, to forge a clear path for future profitability.
• PA Performance Indicators: Where Do We Stand – Pennsylvania dairy producers have their own unique goals but comparing their performance to their peers across the state can help drive efficiency and success. This session will discuss key performance indicators across Pennsylvania dairy operations.

Foraging For Profits: Crop Production Costs and Feeding Management Decisions – On most dairy farms, feed and forage costs can ultimately dictate production costs and on-farm profitability. This session will not only dissect feed and forage costs but offer strategies for using them to improve a farm’s bottom line.
