Survey of Dairy Products-Judging Contestants. III. Dairy Industry Training in Retrospect

Committee on Judging Dairy Products, A.D.S.A.

ABSTRACT

Former contestants in the Collegiate Students' International Contest in the Judging of Dairy Products, most of whom majored in dairy industry, were believed to be in an excellent position to give sound counsel about training and employment in the dairy industry. Accordingly, when a study was made of the vocations and salaries by Babcock et al., 1958 (1), 1958 (2), of the 1,401 contestants from 1930 to 1956, inclusive, several questions about their relationship with the industry were put to them. The responses to these questions form the substance of this report.

SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION AND PROCEDURE

Questionnaires, returnable in an addressed, ballot-type envelope, were mailed to 1,037 former contestants. Specific questions concerning their views about dairy industry training and their relationship with and attitude toward the dairy industry were asked. Approximately 55% of the questionnaires were returned from every section of the United States and several foreign countries. Since the questionnaire was not keyed, and assurance was given that no attempt would be made toward identification, respondents were free in stating their reactions.
