Penn State Extension will host a Workshop for Conservation Professionals on Understanding the Dairy Business December 7 at the Lancaster Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

When you visit a dairy operation to talk about potential conservation practices, do you feel comfortable when the conversation turns to the dairy business itself?

Brush up on your dairy business lingo and vocabulary and gain an improved understanding of the priorities, challenges, and considerations that a dairy operator is thinking about while you are talking best management practices for water and soil conservation.

Who should attend? County Conservation District and NRCS Staff; Conservation Planners; Ag Consultants; Conservation Organizations and Land Trusts; and

Current students in conservation and environmental resources who might work with the Ag community
