About IDFD Conference

Over the past few years we have observed an increased number of established leaders in the milk or beverage processing sector, as well as, successful business people, developing dairy farms to supply processing and packaging plants with fresh milk.

Five-G Consulting has partnered with Agpro, SunNorth, Promat, World Wide Sires, Delta Livestock Construction, Boumatic and Artex in offering the International Dairy Farm Development (IDFD) Conference geared specifically to entrepreneurs exploring the possibility of entering this arena. Each of the partners has been selected as a leader in their respected key sectors.

The goal of the IDFD Conference is to address the challenges likely to be faced by newcomers to the mega-dairy environment. The goal is to offer a means to successfully navigate the obstacles and develop the path to a thriving dairy farming operation.

Each partner is a leader in their field. They are the experts selected from the top of the U.S. Dairy Industry. They are here to provide you with key information and direct access to discuss your situation. Please avail yourself of this resource during and after our meetings.
