HARRISBURG, Pa. — Dairy producers can learn ways to plan financial strategies for the next six months from two nationally known financial advisors — David Kohl and Gary Sipiorski — during two Mastering the Dairy Business conference calls hosted by the Center for Dairy Excellence.
Dates and times
Kohl, professor emeritus from Virginia Tech, will lead a call from noon to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 26 and Sipiorski, a 17-year veteran in the banking industry and regular columnist for Hoard’s Dairyman, will lead a call from noon to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 29.
Kohl will address the volatile economic environment and discuss short- and long-term factors impacting dairy profitability by providing insight into the viability of the dairy industry.
He will share the “nuts and bolts” of making a dairy farmer more bankable, or capable, of receiving credit.
During the call Sept. 29, Sipiorski will address the impact of the worldwide recession on the dairy industry and explain what happened to milk prices and what needs to happen for price recovery.
He will also recommend financial measures dairy producers should take now, and how to prepare for the rebound in milk prices.
