LEADING experts of the dairy infrastructure industry are coming to Australia in February from across the globe.
Four international speakers will be featured at the event, including Michael Heinrich from GEA Farm Technologies in Europe, Alain Houle from the Valmetal Group in the United States and US experts Dr Mike Wolf of VES-Artex and Karl Burgi from SaveCows.
Dairy Australia National Feeding and Farm Systems lead Karen Romano said the event was an opportunity for farmers to learn to avoid making “costly mistakes”.
“Dairy Australia recognises the importance of helping our farmers make informed decisions before investing in feedpad and contained housing infrastructure,” Ms Romano said.
“Having the opportunity to draw on the expertise of a panel of international experts, who have an intimate understanding of how this sort of infrastructure has been successfully built and managed in Europe and America is a unique opportunity that can help our farmers avoid making costly mistakes.”
Attendees at Raising the Roof 2024 will also hear first-hand from a number of Australian dairy farmers who have already successfully transitioned their farm systems.
The event will also feature virtual and in-person farm visits showcasing the latest innovative thinking in a range of intensive farm systems.
Raising the Roof 2024 will run from Tuesday 27 February to Thursday 29 February in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley.
