Cornell PRO-DAIRY and Cornell Cooperative Extension are partnering to offer a two-day Online Feeder School that will be taught in English and Spanish. The program is free thanks to generous sponsors and pre-registration will be required.

Online Feeder School will be offered in English from 1:00 to 2:30 PM EDT on November 3 and 5 and in Spanish from 1:00 to 2:30 PM EDT on November 10 and 12. The program will be held online only and feature a combination of video demonstrations, presentations, and discussion. The same program will be offered in the English and Spanish sessions.

Speakers will include Bill Stone with Diamond V, CCE Regional Dairy Specialists and members of Cornell PRO-DAIRY. Dr. Stone has helped a multitude of dairy farmers feed their herds and will offer his expertise in troubleshooting mixer wagons and answer questions live during discussion.

The Online Feeder School is targeted to farmers, employees, and agriservice professionals who work as or with the feeder – the person responsible for mixing TMR, maintaining bunk silos, and communicating feed issues with other farm staff. The school will cover monitoring dry matter, feed bunk management, bunk face management, and troubleshooting mixer wagons.
