The
Empire Farm Days Dairy
Profit Seminars, August 6 through 8 in Seneca Falls, will provide
money-saving, latest trend, and practical strategies to the industry. The
2019 seminar series will feature more, but shorter, presentations, along with
a lunch and extra break time in a more intimate setting, to allow farmers an
environment to discuss their concerns and receive advice more fully.
“The concept this year is to present the audience with specific information
on money-saving solutions and dairy operation strategies to help dairy
producers adapt and evolve in this current economic climate,” said Joel
Hastings, Editor & Publisher of DairyBusiness.com.
Professor Tom Overton, Director of PRO-DAIRY and Associate Director of Cornell
Cooperative Extension, will present the keynote at 2:15 PM, August 6.
The annual Dairy Profit Seminars are hosted by PRO-DAIRY, Northeast Dairy
Producers Assn., and DairyBusiness.com. Sponsors are six firms serving dairy
farmers in the Northeast: ASAP Interiors, Morrisville, NY; AMTS LLC, Groton,
NY; DFA Northeast, Syracuse, NY; Farm Credit East, Enfield, CT; Farm Family
Insurance – American National, Albany, NY; and Pikeside Enterprises,
Gainesville, NY.
