Tanbark Talk:
“Dairy on the World Stage: Growing Markets and Opportunity”
- Friday, October 3rd at 9:30 – 11:30 am
- Tanbark (Arena Building)
Join the Dairy Girl Network and the National Young Cooperators Program for this year’s Tanbark Talk, where industry leaders will examine how growing international demand is shaping U.S. dairy. The discussion will explore strategies for expanding global markets, developing products that meet the needs of international consumers and navigating the opportunities and challenges of competing on a global stage. Experts will also share perspectives on how export growth influences domestic milk prices and supports the long-term profitability of U.S. dairy farms. In recognition of the International Year of the Woman Farmer, this year’s event will also spotlight the vital contributions of women throughout the dairy supply chain in the United States and around the world.
This event is free to all wanting to attend. After the panel discussion, there will be networking time.
