11-7 IAN Alltech 4

As the dairy and beef industries evolve, scientists are continually exploring the latest issues and trends, while providing producers with a clear vision for a profitable and sustainable future. Alltech’s fifth annual Global 500, December 4-6, 2012, in Lexington, Ky., will feature industry experts who will address the changing future of the dairy and beef industries. In 2011, more than 700 beef and dairy producers from 32 countries attended, and the event is expected to attract more than 1000 attendees this year. Elizabeth Chaney  is the On-Farm Dairy  Marketing Coordinator for Alltech  and her father attended a meeting with the following  experience.: “ My dad is a dairyman from Kentucky and he goes to the event every year. One of his favorite parts is actually being able to sit down and speak with producers, be at dinner with producers from all over the world. He said one night he was at dinner with a producer from Holland and from China and they were all talking about issues that they were all facing.”

So just like Elizabeth’s dad, producers and industry leaders will have the opportunity to network, discuss and discover new opportunities and challenges for 2013.
