Webinar to look at dairy markets and policies
The 2026 I-29 Moo University dairy webinar series kicks off from 12 to 1 p.m. Jan. 12 focusing on milk markets with Leonard Polzin.
This webinar provides an update on United States dairy markets and recent Federal Milk Marketing Order reforms, with a focus on how current market and policy dynamics are affecting milk prices and producer revenues. The discussion examines the ongoing downturn in dairy prices by analyzing key supply, demand, and trade factors, explaining why prices have declined, why the downturn has emerged at this point in the cycle, and how competing market signals are creating mixed price indications.
Polzin grew up on a century-old Wisconsin dairy farm and received bachelor’s degrees in dairy science and agricultural business from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. He completed his graduate work in Agriculture and Resource Economics from Michigan State University. He brings extensive experience as an educator and analyst to the position, having developed and provided programing on topics including market analysis, outlook and market expectations, risk management, and policy analysis.
