The impact of COVID-19 on the dairy industry and the responses of the various stakeholders may not have been as public as other sectors, or drawn the media attention, but the pandemic has been another impactful impediment to achieving a return above the cost of production.
The Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law is presenting a 60-minute webinar on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, from 11:00am to 12:00pm, which will focus on the dairy industry.
