World Dairy Expo is getting closer and closer. I’m not sure if I will be there or for how long yet but I have lined up assistance in providing coverage here again this year.

There’s a lot of advance news to bring you so I thought I’d get started. For example, there’s this year’s World Dairy Expo Recognition Awards which are going to:

Casagrande of Barretos, São Paulo, Brazil, International Person of the Year; Gary E. Hanman, Kansas City, Missouri, Industry Person of the Year; Janet Shank Stiles, Boonsboro, Maryland, Dairy Woman of the Year and Louis E. “Red” Larson of Okeechobee, Florida, Dairyman of the Year.
