Missouri dairy farmers and allied industry members are invited to attend the Missouri Dairy Forum and Trade Show, January 27-28, 2012 in Springfield, Mo.
The Dairy Forum brings together seven dairy organizations including the MDA, Missouri Holstein Association, Missouri Brown Swiss Association, Missouri Guernsey Breeders Association, Missouri Jersey Cattle Club, Missouri Dairy Growth Council and the Sho-Mo Dairy Heifer Growers Association.
“This is an excellent opportunity for Missouri dairy farmers to get new technology and ideas from nationally known speakers and the largest dairy specific trade show held in the state,” says says Missouri Dairy Association (MDA) President Larry Purdom.
In addition, dairy policy development will be a major focus of the Forum. National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) President Randy Mooney of Rogersville, Missouri will discuss “Dairy in the 2012 Farm Bill” before MDA’s voting delegate session.
A Dairy Forum schedule of events can be found online. Registration is free but luncheon reservations are required for Friday and Saturday by emailing dairystl@aol.com or calling (636)519-9300 with attendee names.
