  Heat and a technical symposium
Director
Global Research and Marketing
The past several months have been absolutely terrible for most of the agricultural sector in the U.S. Drought has hit nearly 80% of agricultural land here. Heat and lack of rain has impacted 65% of cattle production and 75% of corn and soybean production. We don't need to expound on the feed prices and difficult flock management decisions that face many producers. We just want you to know that we at Diamond V are ready to help with anything we can in your management planning for the remainder of the year and into next year. Don't hesitate to call if you seek some input or ideas on feeding programs, flock management, or even risk management.
That said, this month's Quick Poll covers something not so heavy and serious: state fairs. It's simple: What is the best state fair, in your opinion? Take the poll and we'll post the results next month. And, as in the past, the first 20 respondents will receive a free sample of EpiCor, the human immune health nutritional supplement.
Diamond V Technical Symposia: Nutrition & Immunology
Diamond V is hosting a technical symposium Sept. 4 prior to the Poultry Federation Arkansas Nutrition Conference. We'll have an afternoon of new immunology and nutrition presentations, followed by a social hour. See more details of the Diamond V symposium and the entire conference.
As always, we're grateful for the tens of thousands of professionals who have been reading Nutrition Line. We want to keep you as readers and, more importantly, make sure we always provide ways to create dialog and interaction.Thanks for your support of Nutrition Line!
Kind regards,
Mike
