About 1,200 dairy farmer members and industry leaders have gathered in Kansas City for the Dairy Farmers of America’s 12th annual meeting. The room for this afternoon’s general session is really filling up in anticipation of today’s talks, including sessions on the value of cooperatives, opportunities in the global marketplace, partnerships with the food industry, and, of course, the state of the dairy industry.

It should be quite the afternoon, and I’ll have more updates for you later.
