People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Pioneers in the Dairy Industry

On April 28, 1877, a child was born on a dairy farm in Story County, Iowa, who was destined to pioneer important activities in the dairy field. Among them was his success in persuading the young American Dairy Science Assoc. to publish a journal. After considerable skepticism and some real opposition, the members voted in 1916 to adopt a committee report favoring such a publication, and the man who sponsored the idea, JULIUS HERMAN FRANDSEN, was appointed to be the first editor, a position he held until 1928.

Young Frandsen's early education in a rural school was followed by training at Iowa State College, from which he received the B.S. degree in 1902 and the M.S. degree in 1904. After graduating he served as agricultural chemist at his Alma Mater and later worked for 3 years as a chemist in a commercial plant in Portland, Oregon.
