Iowa State University Extension & Outreach is set to host their annual Precision Ag and Animal Science Days September 4-6 at the Research Farm near Sutherland, Iowa.

Educational programs designed for ag lenders, consultants and farm manages in Siouxland focusing on market outlooks, risk management, farm bill updates, and record keeping for dairy enterprises.

For the past eight years, a national dialogue focused on the use of antibiotics in food animals and the science surrounding antimicrobial resistance has been hosted by NIAA. Antibiotic stewardship and responsible use of antibiotics continue to be a top priority for the animal agriculture industry.

This year’s event will discuss opportunities and challenges to adding value to dairy calves and dairy beef cross calves. Producers will also share their experiences from feeding to breeding during a panel discussion. Midwest Dairy and Beef Day is open to all beef producers, dairy producers, students and industry persons.
