A dairy management analysis program (DAIRY-MAP) is available to Georgia dairy producers. Individual producers discuss management topics of interest with a team of Extension dairy specialists. The program is a cooperative effort between specialists and agents. Specialists provide support materials including graphs and reports that are utilized in herd management analysis. Agents contact interested producers and schedule meetings. This program demonstrates the delivery of practical information through the county Extension agent and its application to specific producers.
