DBA Gets Loos This Month

Chuck ZimmermanDairy Group, General

Dairy Business AssociationWisconsin’s Dairy Business Association is gearing up for the Seventh Annual Dairy Business Association Business Conference coming up November 29 and 30 at the Monona Terrace in Madison, Wisc.

On the program for day one is “popular radio broadcaster, well-known advocate for agriculture and friend of the DBA” Trent Loos who will share “the insight he uncovered through a series of “Man on the Street” interviews with every-day consumers.”

To forge further into the topic, Loos will moderate an eclectic panel of men in the business of milk. Representing the “Milk is Milk” campaign will be Alex Avery, Director of Research and Education at the Center for Global Food Issues. Mark Kastel from the Cornucopia Institute will express his interest in preserving family farms as primary suppliers of organic milk and preventing mega-farms from reaping the benefits of the label. Adding to this mix, University of Minnesota Extension Coordinator Jim Riddle will share his knowledge of converting conventional milk production practices over to organic methods.

Dairy producers will not want to miss Loos’s insightful “Man on the Street Interviews” session at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 29. For a complete conference schedule visit www.widba.com
