Welcome to the organizational page for the 2024 Maine Dairy Seminar. This annual meeting gives us an opportunity to come together as a dairy industry, learn from subject matter experts and attend a trade show. Our program this year will feature John Winchell, who will give a talk titled “Dairy forage considerations from planting to harvest,” as well as John Porter who will speak to “On Farm Construction”. We look forward to hearing from both dynamic individuals. We look forward to welcoming you once again to our event.
