Okay, I’m a little behind. I did spend a lot of the last week in Indianapolis with the Team Ethanol though. So here’s last week’s announcements from Cooperatives Working Together:
West Coast Dairy Golf
Boy do I wish I could play golf next week. The Western United Dairymen will be though. Registration is underway for the 4th Annual Western United Dairymen Federal PAC Golf Tournament Fundraiser Tuesday, June 6, at the award-winning Diablo Grande Golf Course.
WDBA Press Conference Held
The Wisconsin Dairy Business Association press conference we alerted you to yesterday has now been held. Thanks to Dana Pronschinske for the follow up information. Here’s a summary of what happened.
IA State Dairy Farm Under Construction
It looks like construction has started on the new Iowa State University dairy farm south of Ames and officials look forward to opening the facility in 2007. The ground breaking was held this spring.
Dairy Policy Press Conference Planned
The Wisconsin Dairy Business Association will be conducting a press conference tomorrow to discuss how things are going in the dairy industry. It will be held at Winona State University.
Milk And The Indy Winner
I had hoped to have taken this picture myself since I was attending the Indy 500 but my credentials didn’t allow me in to get the photo. So this one is courtesy of the Indy Racing League.
Boehringer Ingelheim Introduces Suite of New Products
Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica is offering several products of benefit to the dairy industry, including Vovikalc calcium boluses, Daque nutritional supplements for calves, Stocker insecticide ear tags, and Breed-Back FP for BVD.
Value of Dairy Products Boosts New Zealand Export Business
Milk powder, butter, and cheese are hot commodities for the kiwi exporter. The latest report from Statistics New Zealand indicates that the export value of these products was up $209 for the month of April, a 54.5 percent jump over 2005. In total, these three products make up $592 million exported, or 19.6% of total exports for the island nation.
The Raw Milk Debate Continues
Ohio has become Ground Zero for the Raw Milk debate. It is, to put it mildly, a passionate debate, with folks on either side clinging valiantly to their beliefs. We’ve been tracking a bill in the Ohio legislature that would change our state’s position on Raw Milk from one of prohibiting sales of Raw Milk to one where the trade of Raw Milk is perfectly legal in a given set of regulatory circumstances.
