The Online Feeder School is a 2-part educational program for farmers, employees, and agriservice professionals who work as or with the feeder -the person responsible for mixing TMR, maintaining bunk silos, and communicating with other farm staff. It will cover monitoring dry matter, feed bunk management, bunk face management, and troubleshooting mixer wagons.

CCE Regional Dairy Specialists from around NYS have collaborated to develop this program. There will be two separate sessions: one 2-part session in English, and one 2-part session in Spanish.

The Online Feeder School features Dr. Bill Stone of Diamond V, who has helped a multitude of farms troubleshoot issues with feeding their dairy herds. He adds his expertise in troubleshooting mixer wagons and will be live to answer questions during discussion. CCE regional dairy specialists and members of Cornell CALS PRO-DAIRY round out the lineup of speakers for the two-part program.

Each day of Feeder School is a 1.5 hour program held from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. The program will be held online only, with a combination of video demonstrations, presentations, and discussion.

The English session will take place on November 3rd and 5th, 2020.
The Spanish session will take place on November 10th and 12th, 2020.
