Minnesota Milk is excited to bring a new opportunity to dairy farmers and their employees with the launch of the Minnesota Milk Minne-Series starting on January 7. The virtual program includes four various tracks with experts in the areas of people management, production management, policy and economics, and conservation and sustainability.

About each track

The people management track focuses on our greatest asset within the dairy community—people.

The policy and economic track will kick off with a look at Minnesota Milk’s top policy opportunities in 2021. Furthermore, state and federal policy levels will be discussed. As well as economic presentations on the state of the dairy industry and outlooks for 2021. This track is on Fridays at 11:00 a.m. 

The conservation and sustainability track, sponsored by Midwest Dairy, covers how dairy can continue to push the envelope on leading in the conservation space. This track occurs on Fridays at 1:00 p.m.
