Forage Field Day in Western Iowa to Focus on Summer Annuals

Tuesday, Feb 10 | Terrace View, Sioux Center

Are you curious about how robotic milking could fit into your operation? Whether you’re looking to improve labor efficiency, boost herd health, or simply want to see what the latest tech is all about, we’d love for you to join us.

The Four State Dairy Extension Group is hosting a free, one-day conferenceacross two locations to bring together dairy farmers, industry experts, and peers for an honest look at the future of advanced milking technologies.

It’s a chance to get the “real story” on automation. Highlights include:

• Expert Insights: Speakers from Iowa State, UW, and UMN on profitability and labor.
• Producer Panel: A candid Q&A with local farmers who have already made the switch.
• Networking: Connect with neighbors and specialists over a free lunch.

Bonus Tour

Join us the day before (Monday, Feb 9) from 1:00–3:30 PM for a pre-seminar tour at J&S Dairy in Maurice, IA, hosted by Lely.

Registration

The event is free thanks to our generous sponsors, but we do need an RSVP for the lunch count.
