This is a key opportunity to position your name in front of the state’s dairy producers.  GLRDC continues to draw a variety of producers from large to small and tends to draw many producers in the 18-36 age range. These producers are the ones you want to get to know!

The 2023 GLRDC will be held Feb. 2-3, 2023 at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.
