DairyCast Update for February 25, 2011, Is Identifying Background Suppliers Important For Risk Management?
Posted: February 25, 2011 by DairyCast Update
The World Ag Expo continues to expand its influence as a showcase for California agriculture in general and dairy production specifically. Our friends at Progressive Dairymen put together a list of some new and updated interesting products from the event.
The DairyCast team is planning several additional post-event conversations with participants whose presentations and observations we found particularly compelling.
What did you see/hear during the World Ag Expo you believe should be expounded on? Many of our editorial topics come from community members that express an interest on a particular subject. I'd like to hear what your thoughts are.
Don't forget to add DairyCast® to your playlist!
We will be bringing you usable information from the World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA in the next week.
Thanks, again, for listening!
