NICC,
Dairy Center to Host School
Posted 14 November 2008
Northeast Iowa Community College
and the Northeast
Iowa Community-Based Dairy Foundation will host an important and timely
event for dairy producers, The Midwest Dairy Nutrition and Feeding
School, on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
The dairy school, a daylong educational event from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
features industry experts, a producer panel and exhibits.
The school's primary focus is to share strategies on how to
implement quality and lower cost without impacting productivity.
The rising cost of feed is another topic for discussion, because of the
challenge increased costs pose to dairy producers.
The school's speakers and topics include:
- "Overviews of ddgs and its Markets" with Ryan Sauer of
Hawkeye Gold
- "56 Squares" with Bill Nelson and Clint Renken of Nelson
Dairy Consultants. There are 56 pounds of dry matter
in a balanced dairy feed. Dairy producers will learn how to move those
56 squares while maintaining that important balance. Additional topics
cover real life examples of dairy rations, such as gluten and corn
feed, and using better forage to establish a cheaper ration quickly.
- "Feeding for Production and Profitability" with Andy Mueller of
Land O' Lakes Purina Feeds
- "Proper Storage to Protect Your Feed Quality" with John
Anderson of Mycogen
The effectiveness of the Midwest Dairy Nutrition and Feeding School
will be enhanced by a panel of producers discussing "Selection, Storage
and Use of Forages and Commodities on my Dairy" moderated by Dave
Lawstuen, NICC Dairy Science chair.
A hands-on exercise will conclude the day.
Don't miss this opportunity for your dairy business. The Dairy Center
is located on Highway 150, just south of NICC's Calmar campus, and is a
dairy industry leader
that offers education, research and demonstration under one roof.
If you are a dairy business and would like to exhibit at the school,
