High Plains Dairy Conference Set March 5-6 in Amarillo
The High Plains Dairy Conference will be March 5-6 in Amarillo. Conference chairs expect about 300 dairy industry representatives from across the U.S. to attend.
Robert Hagevoort, Ph.D., co-coordinator and Extension dairy specialist at New Mexico State University Ag Science Center in Clovis shared that the conference will kick off with a dynamic panel examining the global dairy industry and future market outlook.
Hagevoort also shared that given the current economic challenges of the conventional dairy model, the conference will explore alternative revenue streams, the future of exports and much more.
Agenda
Will exports continue to lead the way, Krista Harden, president and chief executive officer, U.S. Dairy Export Council.
- Can dairy become more than a low-cost leader, Paul Ziemensky, Group EVP, Wellness, Insights and Innovation, Dairy Management Inc.
- Beef on Dairy is what’s for dinner: a focus on the end product, Dale Woerner, Texas Tech University.
A total of four panels and 15 talks at the High Plains Dairy Conference will provide industry insight and producer perspectives. New this year is a student poster presentation, that will highlight ongoing research at regional universities.
Middle Managers Workshop
On Thursday, March 7, the High Plains Dairy Conference brings yet another new event hosted in both Spanish and English.
