Local Dairy Days Feature Profitable Dairy Practices January 16 - February 9
Posted 12 January, 2012
Iowa
dairy producers will have the opportunity to hear Iowa State University
Extension Specialists share information on emerging dairy industry
issues at the 2012 ISU Extension Dairy Days scheduled at seven eastern
Iowa locations between January 16 and February 9.
The ISU Extension Dairy Team conducts this workshop each winter to help
producers make herd management decisions based on the latest
research. This year producers will learn about utilizing cover
crops from Brian Lang or Mark Carlton, extension agronomists.
Jenn Bentley, Extension dairy specialist, will discuss calf housing and
environment management; and Kristin Schulte, farm management
specialist, will give the dairy outlook for 2012.
After lunch, Larry Tranel, extension dairy specialist, will discuss
robotic milking systems. Doug Bear and Dr. Leo Timms will share
the Iowa Beef Industry’s perspective on dairy and beef quality
assurance. Dr. Lee Kilmer will talk about precision feeding for
productive cows.
Dairy Days will be offered at seven locations: Jan. 16 in
Riceville, Jan. 17 in Calmar, Jan. 18 in Waverly, Jan. 31 in Holy
Cross, Feb. 1 in Ryan, Feb. 8 in Kalona and Feb. 9 in Bloomfield.
Registration starts at 9:30 am and the program will conclude by 3
pm. Details about each date are available from your county ISU
Extension office.
A $10 registration fee covers the noon meal and proceedings costs. (The
Ryan Veterinary Service has arranged to have most of our county’s costs
paid from other sources, so the cost for Delaware County residents to
attend the program in Ryan, including the cost of lunch, will be only
$2.00) Pre-registration is requested by the Friday before each
event to reserve a meal. Vouchers may be available from local
ag-service providers or veterinarians.
Producers may also take advantage of free feed testing by bringing a
ziploc bag of TMR, silage or grain samples (approx. one quart)
for particle size analysis.
For more information contact your local county ISU Extension office or Dr. Leo Timms at 515-294-4522. |
