Producing high-quality silage is an immensely demanding task and thus, it is essential to ensure proper management when feeding it to cows so consistency and quality are maintained at the bunker. While the results of production are always on focus, the safety of our workers throughout each step must always be a priority as well. There can and there should be a strong emphasis on safety without compromising silage quality. In this episode, featuring Connie Kuber, we delve into the topic of safety at the silage pile, discuss safe harvesting practices, and explore safety measures when operating machinery on dairy farms. Additionally, she sheds some light on the importance of women for the dairy milk industry and shares insights on the initiative known as the Dairy Girl Network group.“Workers need to be safe around the silage pile – maybe that translates into other parts of their job, too.” - Connie Pierson KuberWhat you’ll learn:(0:00) Highlight(1:53) Introduction (11:56) Safety tips for the silage pile (23:59) Safety and quality in silage harvesting (30:40) Safety measures for the planting season (37:46) The role of women in the dairy industry (46:40) Dairy Girl Network (52:27) The final questionsMeet the guest: Connie Pierson KuberExperience: Current: Co-Owner at Connor Agriscience; Co-Owner at Sealpro® Silage Barrier FilmsBackground: Certificate, Corporate Communications (University of Southern California)B.Sc., Agriculture Journalism (University of Minnesota)Connect with the guest!𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.The Dairy Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- AB Vista- Protekta- DSM- Diamond V- ICC- Phibro- Berg + Schmidt- Evonik- Adisseo- smaXtec
