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, as well as a look at Pennsylvania’s Dairy Development Plan and the findings of the 2017 Pennsylvania Dairy Study.
“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 the steps that Pennsylvania is taking to create opportunities for dairy,” said Jayne Sebright, executive director with the Center for Dairy Excellence. “We will also update producers on programs available at the federal and state levels, as well as through the Center, to help them continue to navigate through this extended downturn in dairy prices.”
