Purpose is your compass. Passion is your fuel. Find your True North and join us at the PA Dairy Summit on February 4-5 where you’ll join more than 350 forward-thinking dairy producers and industry professionals! Hear from 20+ speakers, and learn how to control the chaos, commit to your purpose, and stay the course through the highs and the lows. Registration is now open, with discounts available for dairy producers.
Hosted by the Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania and Center for Dairy Excellence, we have exciting keynote sessions planned for you this year – including a producer panel discussion on profitability, a producer showcase from the 2024 Young Dairy Farmer of the Year, and a movie night featuring the World Without Cows documentary.
This year, a feature-length documentary called World Without Cows will have its PA debut on the Dairy Summit stage. Amid narrow views about cows and climate change, two award-winning journalists began a journey that would take them from the heartland of the United States to Kenya, India, Brazil and beyond as they sought to answer one seemingly simple question: “Are we better off in a world without cows?” The answer is not black and white. Through interviews with farmers, ranchers, scientists and others on the front lines of agriculture and science, award-winning journalists Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth take viewers on a global journey to deepen their understanding of everything cows contribute and what the world might look like without them.
On Wednesday evening, Summit attendees will enjoy a special screeningof the documentary, which is included with your Summit registration.
After the screening, on Thurs. morning, both filmographers and Dr. Holder Vaughn will lead a keynote session titled “World Without Cows – A Deeper Dive Behind the Scenes” where they will dive into their journey traveling to 40 locations around the world and interviewing those on the frontlines of agriculture.
This should be a thought-provoking conversation about the impact of cattle on economies, ecosystems, cultures and human nutrition.
