Dairy Risk Management Workshop Series
Thursdays from 10 a.m. – Noon, October 15, 22 and 29 and November 5, 12 and 19, 2009
The recent dramatic rise and fall in milk and grain prices and the accompanying challenges for producers underscores the need for greater risk management training. This six-part workshop, featuring internationally recognized experts, will help dairy farmers understand futures and options contracts, trading on the Chicago Board of Exchange, forward pricing, margin protection and other risk management strategies to help producers stay profitable. Held via teleconference, the sessions are offered at six sites throughout Virginia, one in Pennsylvania, and one in North Carolina. Each will have an on-site coordinator to ensure a good learning environment. Producers may choose which sessions to attend, but are encouraged to attend them all. Registration is required for the on-site presentations to get an accurate count for handouts and lunch.
