Dairy farmers have been experiencing an extended period of low milk prices, prompting the Four State Dairy Extension to offer three webinars that discuss how to recognize the signs of stress, how to deal with dairy farm families experiencing stress, analyzing a dairy for profits, the profitability of various dairy systems and what the Farm Financial Database (FINBIN) says about production costs.

The topics discussed in the webinars are:

• July 10 – Recognizing and Managing Stress in Dairy Farmers

• July 17 – Knowing your Cost of Production and Dairy Outlook

• July 24 – Making Production Decisions During Challenging Times
