FORT ATKINSON, Wis. — Our next monthly webinar will take place on Monday, April 11 at noon (Central time). Mike Hutjens, a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois, will present “Feed costs — Ten opportunities for savings.”
Feed represents over 50% of total milk production costs. With higher fertilizer, corn, and soybean meal prices, dairy farmers can expect a squeeze on profitability this year. Forage prices will be higher in 2022, too. The webinar will focus on 10 ways to control or fine-tune feed costs without sacrificing profitability. The webinar is sponsored by Kuhn.
