Week 54 Rolls

Professional Dairy Producers® (PDPW), announces the line-up of speakers for week 54 of The Dairy Signal™. Episodes this week feature leading experts on manure management and reducing methane production, as well as a panel of dairy producers to share expertise with calf feeding systems.

Kevin Erb, Director of the Conservation Professional Training Program for UW-Madison, Division of Extension, will share best practices for sustainable and profitable manure management and information on what to do in case of a manure spill. Dr. Frank Mitloehner, PhD, Professor and Air Quality Extension Specialist with the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis, will return to The Dairy Signal with a presentation on reducing methane production on dairy farms, including examples of how California dairy farmers are effectively reducing production by generating electricity.

A dairy producer panel of Yogi Brown, Sunburst Dairy, Rosario Ibarra, Grotegut Dairy Farm, Inc., and Heidi Fischer, Fischer-Clark Dairy Farm, LLC, will share their experiences and learnings with calf pasteurizer feeding systems.
