Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin (PDPW) is celebrating its 20th year in 2012, including its 20th Business Conference.
Progressive Dairyman interviewed with Shelly Mayer (right), dairy producer and PDPW executive director, to talk about how the organization has evolved and what it means to be a “professional dairy producer” today.
A developmental milestone is reached when the leader is able to build trust and motivation with their employees to the degree that they are willing to openly follow their direction regardless of circumstances. This is not achieved until a leader is able to demonstrate – through personal example – that they have earned their employees’ respect and admiration.
Rewind your clock to December 4, 2011. The prior week the USDA released its preliminary Agricultural Prices report for November. According to this report, the preliminary milk-feed ratio for November was 1.80.
Following the headline “November milk-feed ratio a disappointing 1.80,” an eminent dairy economist commented, “The milk-feed profitability index for November is none too rosy. It’s not until the ratio reaches 3.0 that it is considered profitable to buy feed and produce milk.”
When you think of great communicators in history, who are some of the first people that come to mind?
What do you think made them so good at sharing their message? Is it merely because they speak the same language as you do, or is it more than just the words they use?

In the midst of those weighty decisions, it recently decided what a pig is.
This tale begins with a cow. Early in 2008, undercover photographers for the Humane Society of the United States caught workers at a California slaughterhouse mistreating a non-ambulatory cow. It was shocking footage.
With a name like World Ag Expo, this event is bound to attract people from all over.
Not only were some attendees arriving two-by-two, others were coming in a busload at a time.
Progressive Dairyman was able to catch up with four different tours that made their way west to Tulare, California.
I usually look forward to World Dairy Expo and World Ag Expo as the two locations for product launches and unique innovation in the dairy industry. Usually at these shows you can count on seeing a few things – practical or not – that are inventive.
