A tool that dairy farmers have relied on for decades is changing. At the Professional Dairy Producers Business Conference, March 4-5 in Madison, Tom Zwald is going to talk about how to navigate a major industry shift -- the disappearance of BMR corn. BMR corn, or brown midrib corn, is a variety of corn for silage. Tom tells Stephanie Hoff that his family farm, Bomaz Farms in Hammond, has found high-quality alternatives that don’t sacrifice milk production. This boots-on-the-ground experience sharing is one of the reasons Tom has attended the PDP Business Conference since he was a college student.
