A Guide for Secondary School Recruitment Programs in the Dairy Industry¹

The Public Belations Committee The American Dairy Science Association 1955

The dairy industry is currently furnishing employment for about one-seventh of the nation's population. The total number thus employed approximates the number of people living on farms throughout the United States. In addition to furnishing employment for many people, the industry provides a wide range of occupations. In the farm production of milk and in the processing (manufacturing) and distribution of dairy products, people in practically all walks of life are needed. In view of these facts, it should be clear to all concerned that to insure competent leadership throughout the industry in the years to come, many young persons must constantly be attracted to this area and trained in it. To this end, there is the continuous need of acquainting outstanding young people with the different phases of dairying and the career opportunities they offer.

The need for a youth education and promotion program in the dairy industry is urgent.
