Fancy an opportunity to attend the inaugural Global Dairy 500 conference in Kentucky, USA with flights and accommodation paid for.

If so, Alltech is offering one dairy farmer who makes the strongest case for being selected to attend this gathering of industry leaders, but applications are required no later than 10 August.

Alltech's UK business general manager, Ian Leach says "the conference will provide an opportunity to debate the major issues alongside the most progressive milk producers in the world."

"The event will cover nutrition, health, business planning and milk branding as well as wider challenges such as climate change and biofuels," he says.

Dairy farmers wishing to enter simply need to send their name and address and a statement stating why they should be selected to attend (Max 200 words) to Alltech.
