BUILD MY DAIRY FARM

Global Dairy Farmers is a network where progressive dairy farmers and other key dairy stakeholders like to build, but also like to challenge the dairy sector as a whole. During this seminar you will get a glimpse of what that means. First of all, we will give you an overview of global developments in the dairy sector and then zoom in what that means for the entrepreneurs at the farm. We continue by providing you information and hands-on advice on different aspects on how to build your farm, now and in the future. Our presenters are all experts in their field.

Not only do they like to share their knowledge but they are also keen to challenge themselves as well as our farmers. Great discussions, inspirational food for thought. This seminar will provide you with practical tips and visionary ideas from both dairy farmers as well as the dairy stakeholders. A great ‘blueprint’ for building your best farm.
