Learn why grass will make more net profit per acre than corn. Leam why production per cow is not the most important question you can ask about profit on a dairy farm. Two experienced graziers Dale Nuefeld from Bradford Co. and Jeff Wolfe from Adams Co. will share from hands-on experience how to develop a grass dairy and what is possible and practical on the working model. Dale is a seasonal producer and has 15 years experience. Seven of those years he has been doing seasonal calving and is excited about the increased profitability. He will point out why some graziers fail. Jeff has experience working on one of the largest dairies in the state so he brings along a unique perspective that can be helpful to any serious dairy farmer. He too is seasonal and will share about the profitability and challenges of having all the cows dry at once. He will outline the advantage of variety in grass species. John Thyssen, plant breeder originally from Holland, will talk about what is being done to ensure the best possible grass species for the grazier. He will showcase the Kramer trial in Wisconsin. This trial showed side by side that ryegrass can survive tough winters and make a diffence in milk production and enhance, the bottom-line.
