Another event to look forward to at World Dairy Expo — DATCP will host a Global Dairy Symposium during the convention on Oct. 6 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The symposium is funded by the Wisconsin Initiative for Agricultural Exports, a collaborative project proposed in Gov. Tony Evers’ budget between DATCP and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. to promote the export of Wisconsin’s agricultural products.
During the symposium, presenters will share information on trends in production, COVID-19 pandemic impacts, economic fluctuations, supply chain challenges, climate change, sustainability, labor shortages and trade conflicts. Each speaker will provide a 30-minute presentation and participate in a panel discussion moderated by lead editor of Hoard’s Dairyman, Corey Geiger.
The presenters include:
· Krysta Harden – Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Dairy Export Council
· Torsten Hemme – President of International Farm Comparison Network (IFCN), Germany
· Ad Van Velde – President of Global Dairy Farmers, the Netherlands
· Sheryl Meshke – Co-President and Chief Executive Officer of Associated Milk Producers Inc.
The event is FREE, but space is limited. Registration is required by Sept. 30: https://datcp.wi.gov/Pages/AgDevelopment/GlobalDairySymposium.aspx
