World Dairy Expo General Manager has dialed in some beautiful weather to start off the 2011 show. I visited with him this morning to get a preview of this year’s program. Mark says the thing he’s noticed early here at the show it how positive the attitude is on the part of dairy farmers.

I asked him what’s new and he says that they often find that out on opening day as companies unveil new products. He says he’s been hearing a lot about RFID and robotics. We’ll see if we can find some of those stories while we’re here. Mark also says that the breed shows should set a record for participation. He says they had to put up a new structure to house animals since so many are here.
