Labor Management

Organizing for Profit

Abstract

For many of us, the dairy industry has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Herd sizes have become larger and technological development has changed the owner from a man taking care of a few cows to a man with a multi-million dollar business and many employees to get the work done. Managing cows has become managing people. Just like the large successful companies in this country, dairies are spending more time and money in training and motivating people to be productive in a wide range of skills.
