Today I’m joining you from the 2010 Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference in Frankenmuth, MI. A delayed flight, lost luggage and nasty little blizzard didn’t deter me from getting here, and it’s been a full day of hot topics pertaining to the dairy industry today.

Before I dive into some of the details from the sessions, I thought I would share a bit of information about where we are staying during this conference, The Bavarian Inn Lodge. It’s definitely a unique place!

The Bavarian Inn Lodge is a treasure in the heart of downtown Frankenmuth – Michigan’s #1 tourist attraction. Nestled on the banks of the beautiful Cass River, the Lodge is a world-class getaway destination for families and couples. The Bavarian Inn Lodge of Frankenmuth is about gathering. For generations, millions of people have come here to stay and play, to be welcomed with our home-cooked chicken dinners, delightfully cozy beds, and warm Bavarian hospitality. It’s like stepping into the heart of Europe without a passport or the jet lag!
