NEW PRAGUE, Minn. — University of Minnesota Extension and Minnesota Dairy Initiative- South Central Region are collaborating efforts to host a free dairy event for dairy producers on Monday February 12 at 12:00 pm at the New Prague State Bank in New Prague, MN.
Farm Business Management Instructor Pam Uhlenkamp of South Central College will be sharing her expertise on “How to Stretch Your Dollar”. With profit margins shrinking on dairy farms, it is important to know and understand areas of opportunity in your business’s budget. Uhlenkamp will also point out grants that are available for dairy farmers to utilize.
With seven years of experience working as a Farm Business Management Instructor, Uhlenkamp not only works with multiple facets of agriculture, but she also currently helps over 50 farms succeed in this unique industry of farming. Prior to Farm Business Management, Uhlenkamp worked as a swine and cattle nutritionist.
This is the fourth annual Winter Dairy Series for the partnership. The final event of the season will be held in March.
