Winter Dairy Management - Canandaigua Location

March 2, 2015
10:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Canandaigua, NY

For dairy farmers, the pleasure of historically high milk prices in 2014 has turned into the prospect of significantly lower milk checks for 2015. The component based pricing system for milk offers a means to achieve higher profits with the same level of milk production. Many producers have gained and maintained higher milk components even with Holsteins consistently surpassing the 3.5% BF and 3.0% MP standards.

FSA Borrower Credits available
