The Madison-based FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative is hosting a free dairy risk management webinar next week. The online program takes place on January 26 at 11:30 a.m. featuring University of Wisconsin-Madison dairy economist Mark Stephenson, who will provide a dairy pricing forecast for 2021.
Travis Glaser with ARM Services will also share his outlook on the year ahead. And the webinar will information on how dairy producers might utilize crop insurance differently than a crop farmer would.
"FarmFirst leadership saw a need to connect members with experts in dairy risk management, especially after the turbulent year of milk pricing we had in 2020. Dairy farms are incredibly diverse and the way they use risk management tools is just as diverse," said FarmFirst Board President John Rettler. "Hosting this free webinar for all dairy farmers is one way that we can help dairy farmers make connections to expand the risk management tools that are available to them."
