The Midwest Dairy Association is offering 60-Minute Subjects, a series of sessions to help producers with promoting dairy at the local level. Each educational session will be delivered by telephone and Internet, and are held during midday hours or evening hours without charge.
The schedule of the sessions is as follows:
Feb. 11, 11:30 a.m. – Social media and how to use it promoting dairy;
Feb. 25, 11:30 a.m. – Classroom visits and ideas to do them well;
Mar. 11, 11:30 a.m. – SpeakOut! and how you can talk about dairy in your community;
Mar. 15, 11:30 a.m. – Fuel Up To Play 60 and how it is making a difference for dairy producers;
Mar. 18, 7:30 p.m. – Fuel Up To Play 60 and how it is making a difference for dairy producers; and
Mar. 25, 11:30 a.m. – June Dairy Month promotion ideas to use locally.
Participants should RSVP to the Midwest Dairy Producer Service Center at 1-877-360-FARM (3276) or producerservicecenter@midwestdairy.com.
The sessions also tap into the experience of producers who have been successful with various promotion efforts. For instance, members of the Dairy Farm Mom Network share their experiences with social media, and SpeakOut! presenters offer tips and tricks for those who plan to make presentations to community groups.
Because a 60-Minute Subject session may not fit a producer’s schedule, Midwest Dairy also makes a recording of each one available at its website. In order to access the presentation, producers must create a login and password at the site.
