Abstract

The decade of the '80s was primarily a down cycle for the dairy industry-a sorting out of those who really had the resources and the will to survive. Now, in the '90s, we have a wiser and better group of dairy farm managers. This group is demanding more professional services than ever from agribusiness, especially large animal veterinanans like you in the area of herd management and we in Farm Credit in farm management.

Today, I would like to address where I believe the dairy industry is going and how we can better serve their changing needs.
