World Dairy Expo is right around the corner, and Registered Jersey breeders, Huffard Dairy Farms of Crockett, Virginia will be one of nine North American dairy operations to be featured during the Virtual Farm Tour program.
James S. Huffard III, who partners with his brother John in the business, will narrate a video tour of the 400-cow Registered Jersey™ dairy and answer questions from the audience, starting at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 3 in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, Madison, Wis. The American Jersey Cattle Association is the program sponsor.
Huffard Dairy Farms is located in the mountains of southwest Virginia and has been in the family for more than 200 years. The operation is a case study in how one family has adapted and thrived in a farming enterprise, because of a business attitude, attention to detail, smart breeding decisions, merchandising of purebred seedstock, and adoption of new farming practices and technologies.
Other Virtual Farm Tours feature dairies located in Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada. They are being sponsored by BASF Plant Science LLC, Barenbrug USA, Cover-All Building Systems Inc., McLanahan Corp., Purina Feed LLC and Vita Plus Corporation. There is no charge for these programs.
World Dairy Expo opens Tuesday, October 2, with the Central National Jersey Show beginning that afternoon at 1:00 p.m. in the Coliseum.
Jersey events run all day on Wednesday, starting at 7:30 a.m. with the cow classes in the Central National show. Following the Huffard Dairy Farms program at 2:00 p.m. will be the Top of the World Jersey Sale at 4:00 p.m. in the IGENITY® Sale Pavilion. Jersey Marketing Service, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, is the sale manager.
