Business and economics

Rising feed costs have become a growing concern for dairy goat producers, prompting many to evaluate one of their most critical and expensive inputs: hay. Is it cheaper to grow your own hay or does purchasing provide better economic value? This decision can significantly affect your bottom line. It is important to understand the economics behind each option to make an informed, cost-effective choice.

Each year, the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) teams up with a state association to host the yearly ADGA National Convention.  This year, the Wisconsin Dairy Goat Association (WDGA) has the honor to partner with ADGA and host the conference in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, October 19 to 25.
