2022 POSITIVE FARMERS DAIRY CONFERENCE
We hope to stretch and stimulate farmers’ minds and provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas, knowledge and science.
As usual we bring you top world-renowned speakers, they will cover the key technical, financial, people management and research needs for
successful dairy farming and profitable expansion and this year the Conference will focus on the challenges facing all farmers in these uncertain
times.
