Symposium: Selecting a Career in the Dairy Industry

Careers in Dairy Production

National Association of Artificial Breeders, Columbia, Missouri

ABSTRACT

It is a pleasure to address the Student Section of the American Dairy Science Association and discuss briefly with you Careers in Dairy Production. There is no subject closer to my heart. As a dairy farmer and cattle breeder, as a professor of Dairy Production for nearly 25 years, and with some eight years of experience in my present position, I have formed some very definite opinions regarding the future. The ideas I present are gathered from experience and observation over the entire dairy production field.

FUTURE NEVER MORE CHALLENGING

In my opinion, the future for a worthwhile career in dairy production was never more promising. At the same time, I am sure the man who is successful in this field in the future must be better prepared from the standpoint of knowledge, judgment, business sense, and courage than the dairy production major who graduated twenty years ago. This is largely because of the tremendous changes in our agricultural picture in the past twenty years. The dairy production picture has changed a great deal.
