AHDB Dairy is offering funding for individuals to attend selected dairy conferences in early 2017.
Conferences are a great way to learn something new, expand knowledge and network with likeminded individuals. Learnings can be brought back and shared on farm to encourage innovative practice and lead to improvements in GB dairy farming.
AHDB Dairy is offering a limited number of grants, ranging from £300 to £2,500, towards the costs of attending events, which include: Positive Farmers Conference, 11 - 12 Jan 2017, Semex Dairy Conference, 15 - 17 Jan 2017 and Western Dairy Conference in Nevada, USA, 28 Feb - 2 Mar 2017
Previously, successful applicants have attended Total Dairy, IDF and the Cattle Lameness Conference. As well as their own development, applicants have shared their experiences with other farmers at AHDB Dairy events.
The deadline for applications is Friday 9 December 2016.
