The Wisconsin Dairy Business Association announces their tenth annual business conference – “Looking Ahead, Leading the Way.” Join more than 300 dairy industry friends and partners on December 1 & 2 at the Madison Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wis.
This two-day event brings together dairy leaders to tackle the tough issues facing the industry. The conference will cover topics ranging from immigration reform, the WPDES permitting process, the environment…and most importantly, the state of our economy. Expert speakers and panelists are ready to reveal what the future holds for these topics and more.
We kick off the first day with an expert panel to address immigration raids and the need for immigration reform. Panelists include Jaime Castaneda of the National Milk Producer Federation; Randy Johnson with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and Tamar Jacoby of ImmigrationWorks USA (Invited). Following is Trent Loos, proclaimed American farmer and perennial favorite at the Annual Business Conference. A panel of dairy producers will then take the stage to join Sam Miller of M&I Bank for an in-depth discussion on thriving financially in the aftermath of this year’s economic downturn. Rounding out the line-up for the afternoon is a panel moderated by Dennis Frame of Discovery Farms with special guests Professor Andrew Sharpley and DNR Planner Buzz Sorge to delve into increased regulations and requirements on the state’s dairy industry. A cheese and wine reception, dinner and networking will follow.
On the morning of Wednesday, December 2, DNR Bureau Director Russ Rasmussen discusses streamlining of the WPDES permitting process; and back by popular demand, Wall Street’s own Stephen Moore will once again provide an insider’s look at the nation’s economic situation. Our action-packed morning continues with Charlie Arnot of The Center for Food Integrity tackling the issue of building consumer confidence in light of public industry attacks; followed by an in-depth discussion on the state’s economy with Thomas Hefty of Cobalt Corporation and John Torinus of Serigraph Inc. We conclude our conference with research scientist Mark Borchardt speaking on sources and risks of fecal-borne pathogens.
