Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) is introducing a new interactive program designed to help dairy producers and management teams effectively integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations.
The Smart Dairy Workshop will focus on practical ways farmers can connect data from multiple systems, uncover valuable insights, and make more informed, proactive management decisions.
With modern dairy farms generating vast amounts of data, the ability to turn that information into actionable strategies is becoming increasingly important.
“There is no shortage of data available on today’s dairy farms. The ability to use AI and other tools to harness that data for more effective decisions will set forward-thinking dairy operations apart,” said Brady Weiland, Columbus, Wis., dairy producer, and PDP Board member.
“The Smart Dairy Workshop will be a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts using real-world case studies that we can use to develop a plan for our own operation.”
The workshop will be offered in two identical sessions. The first will take place on Wednesday, April 15, at Chippewa Valley Technical College in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, followed by a second session on Thursday, April 16, at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Each session will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 3:45 p.m.
Dr. Jeffrey Bewley, Executive Director of Genetics and Innovation at Holstein Association USA, and Dr. Miel Hostens, a professor specializing in digital dairy management and data analytics, will lead the sessions. Participants can earn up to 4.25 Dairy AdvanCE continuing education credits. Advance registration is required, and space is limited.
