Workshops for Agribusiness Advisers
Consultants who are working with Center for Dairy Excellence Profit and Target Teams can take advantage of upcoming training workshops that demonstrate how to use the new online version of the Penn State Profitability Assessment Dairy Tool. The workshops are designed for consultants who are serving as facilitators for Profit and Target Teams, as well as those who will be assisting advisory teams in the future.
These
training sessions will also include a brief discussion and reference packet of
information for the soon to be released “LGM for dairy” insurance product for Pennsylvania dairy
producers. This risk management tool will provide producers a new and unique
opportunity to insure feed / milk margins and compliments the program goals of
the PA Dairy Tool and Profit / Target team.
