4-H Ontario Dairy Sen$e Conference Nears

The 4-H Ontario Dairy Sen$e Conference is set to return again this spring.

The group has been hosting the event along with Ontario Holstein since 2010.

The conference will feature industry professional speakers, workshops, hands-on learning and farm tours.

4-H Ontario recently hired C. Lang Consulting to do a research study on the conference.

Results showed overwhelming positive feedback on the impact of the conference and the knowledge gained there.

4-H also learned that two-thirds of the conference has been attended by non-members.

97 per cent of participants in the study said they'd conference allowed them to network with industry leaders and those relevant to their farming interests.

The 2017 Dairy Sen$e Conference will take place at the University of Guelph from May 4th to the 6th.
