One of the companies helping sponsor the IFAJ Congress here in Norway is GENO Breeding and A.I. Association.

On our dairy tour today, Torstein Steine, Director of Breeding and Research, gave us an overview of the Norwegian Cow Record System. GENO is very involved in this project which has an immense amount of data online now.

Torstein says that over a third of all the dairy producers in Norway directly input their data via the internet, including the farm we were on today.

I interviewed him after his presentation so you can learn more here: Torstein Steine Interview (4 min MP3)
