This year speakers provided dynamic and innovative presentations; Elaine Froese, a farm family coach, spoke on the topic of farm succession, and Dr. Rob Bell, CEO of Bio Agri Mix, spoke on the topic of dairy farm profitability.

The 2017 Dairy Symposium took place in three locations including Port Perry on Jan. 24, Woodstock on Jan. 25 and Drayton on Jan. 26. The event was free to all dairy producers and provided a hot roast beef lunch, chocolate milk, coffee, tea and a complementary glass. Grand Valley Fortifiers would like to thank all who attended the 2017 Dairy Symposium. The company is grateful that Ontario dairy producers took the opportunity to continue to learn and develop necessary skills to better manage their farms.
