The Missouri Dairy Grazing Conference will feature presentations by university faculty, industry and dairy producers on the latest information related to dairy grazing systems. Farm tours will be held to local pasture-based dairy operations both during and after the conference. A trade show is planned for 30-40 businesses affiliated with this industry to showcase their products and information during the conference. Approximately 275 people attended the conference in 2011 from a total of 24 states across the U.S. and three countries.
Over the years some confusion surrounding the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Dairy Products Prices (DPP) program and the use of these data in the class price formulas. Why are NASS’s DPP reports used in the Agricultural Marketing Service’s (AMS) class price formulas? How are the NASS reports compiled? Is there a magic formula used to generate the NASS DPP reports? What prevents manufacturing plants from misreporting or manipulating the prices?
Flies do have an economic impact for dairy producers. House flies and Stable flies are primary pests of confined animals followed by the horn fly for producers who pasture their animals. Horn flies are serious pests but the larvae cannot tolerate the manure being disturbed hence in confined operations they are not as serious a pest.
