How did you get started in photography? I first started in photography while I was in college at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. I took one class and fell in love with it. However, I have another passion for design and marketing, and that’s what I followed first.

This year’s Dairy Industry Achievement Award (DIAA) recipients prove that all good things come in pairs. John and Bill Bocock were the 2016 recipients of the Alberta dairy industry’s top award at the Alberta Milk’s dairy conference on Nov. 23.

The erosion of milk’s reputation as a healthy food choice is the biggest issue facing the nation’s dairy industry, said the new dairy chair for The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
