Dairy farm succession planning will be a key focus as Indiana and Kentucky dairy producers, nutritionists and support industry professionals come together for the fifth annual Kentuckiana Dairy Exchange near Shelbyville, Kentucky. "We have a lot of dairy producers nearing retirement," said Tamilee Nennich, Purdue Extension dairy specialist. "That's sparking questions from farmers wondering how to split their assets and adequately plan for the next generation." Gloy and Heckaman will help dairy producers think through these complex issues. Nennich said the exchange also will offer farmers an opportunity to learn about new techniques in the industry and meet and share ideas with other farmers in the area. This year, farmers will see and learn about compost bedded pack barns, a type of housing facility not common in Indiana. The dairy tours also will feature a farm that extensively uses alternative feeds and operations that use sand-bedded freestall barns in their production. The Kentuckiana Dairy Exchange is an annual event collaboratively organized by Purdue, the University of Kentucky and Indiana Dairy Producers. Click here for more information. Questions can be directed to Nennich at (765) 494-4823 or by
