Webinar: Converting Old Dairy Barns into swine Facilities
As we continue to see transitions away from traditionally small dairies across the state, we have identified opportunities to rethink the interior design of these barns to be more suitable for other livestock. Tim Terry, Strategic Planning Specialist with Cornell University's Pro-Dairy Team will be speaking on repurposing these facilities in order to most successfully raise hogs. Considerations that will be highlighted include flooring, ventilation, lighting, and efficiency of design.
This webinar will be shared on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 from 6pm - 7:30pm. The webinar is free to attend, and open to all.
