Join the UVM Extension Dairy Team for the Future-Ready Dairy Farm Tour Series as we visit innovative dairy farms across Vermont that are improving efficiency, profitability, and resilience through technology, diversification, and herd and crop management strategies. These informal farm tours and conversations offer a chance to hear directly from producers about what is working on their farms, lessons learned along the way, and what they are most excited about for the future of their businesses and the dairy industry.
Building for the Future: Funding, Automation, and Innovation Strategies
39 John Rowley Road Milton, VT 05468
Tuesday, July 7, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Learn from the Rowley family about their journey building a future-ready dairy operation through facility design, automation, and long-term planning. Participants will hear about the family’s approach to automated milking, adapting dairy nutrition and management strategies to evolving technology, and navigating grant and funding opportunities to support these investments. The workshop will also explore farm transfer and succession planning strategies to help position the operation for future generations.
