Dairy farmers can look forward to a week of informative episodes on The Dairy
Signal® this April. The program, offered by Professional Dairy Producers®,
provides timely information on various aspects of dairy farm management.
This week's lineup covers a range of topics relevant to dairy producers:
• Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV): Learn about transmission,
identification, prevention, and management of BLV, including its potential
financial impact on a dairy farm. The episode features Dr. Keith Poulsen, a leading
expert from the University of Wisconsin.
• Managed Grazing Systems for Heifers: Discover how raising dairy
heifers on a managed grazing system can benefit your farm. This episode
explores cost reduction, improved animal performance, and positive
environmental impacts on water quality and soil health. Jason Cavadini, a
grazing specialist from UW-Madison Extension, will be the presenter.
• Carbon Offsets and Insets for Dairy Producers: Gain insights into
carbon offsets and insets, including their role in reducing the carbon
footprint of dairy farms and related industries. Patrick Wood, Founder of Ag
Methane Advisors, will present the latest information and updates on this
topic, building on content originally presented at the PDP's Carbon Conference.
The Dairy Signal® episodes are valuable not only for the information they
provide, but also for the opportunity to earn continuing education (CE) units.
Through Dairy AdvanCE®, viewers can earn up to 0.5 CE units per episode by
