Abstract

The art of delivering production medicine is often times as important as the science. Today's dairy farms are experiencing change, competition, and complexity which can result in frustration for both the farmer and the consultant. By improving our people skills in the areas of communications-both presenting and listening, cultivating the positive emotions-faith, hope, enthusiasm, and desire, and evaluating our personal qualities as well as the client's qualities we can truly bridge the gap between technology and the farm.
