Facility design workshops on tap

Two upcoming Dairyland Initiative workshops in De Pere, Wis., are filling up, but there is still room available for both the “Designing Supplemental Positive Pressure Ventilation Systems for Calf & Heifer Barns” workshop on Oct. 31 and the 1.5-day session on Nov. 1-2 for “Planning Transition Cow Facilities and Remodeling Dairy Barns.”

The Dairyland Initiative also has opened up one-day-only registration for the Nov. 1 & 2 workshop. The focus on Nov. 1 will be on Transition Cow Facility Planning and on Nov. 2 facilitators will discuss Remodeling Dairy Barns.

Please call or fax in your registration if you would like to attend just the Nov. 1 or Nov. 2 workshop. For more details, see the updated registration brochure.
