Ohio Dairy Forum Information

All Ohio dairy farmers were invited to attend the Ohio Dairy Forum on March 31, 2010. Registration started at 10am and the conference ended at 3:15pm with lunch provided by the sponsors.

The forum’s featured speakers presented federal dairy policies that are being discussed around the country and helped dairy farmers gain a better understanding and a more comprehensive insight to the design of the policies. Dairy farmers were able to ask questions and express their opinions about these policies. 

 

In addition to a policy review, our featured speakers provided a dairy industry market update and an economic overview. There was also a presentation on the comparison of a free market, a government intervened market and a government controlled market and how a change in dairy policy would affect Ohio’s dairy industry. Lastly, ODPA provided an update and their next steps on the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board.
