HARRISBURG, Pa. — Dairy producers are encouraged to attend one of the Dairy Industry Producer Roundtable Meetings this October in Myerstown, Carlisle, State College, Mansfield, Martinsburg and Grove City. The roundtable meetings will include a discussion on current market dynamics and controlling the controllable through the right resources, as well as a look at dairy programs recently made available, both at the federal level and within the state.
“These roundtables are intended to provide a forum for dairy producers to ask questions and gain insight on the factors currently affecting the marketplace and how they can best prepare for the next twelve months,” said Jayne Sebright, executive director with the Center for Dairy Excellence. “We will also update producers on programs available to help them continue to navigate through this extended downturn in dairy prices.”
