D. V. KOPLAND
The Dairy Industry lost one of its most devoted servants in the death of D. V. KOPLAND on September 12, 1963, in Logan, Utah. He was born on January 26, 1899, in Wellington, Kansas, son of John K. and Daisy Irene Pickell Kopland. He was reared and schooled in South Dakota, graduating from South Dakota State College in 1921.
After managing the South Dakota State herds, Professor Kopland was employed by the USDA at Ardmore, South Dakota, and was later assigned to the Huntley, Montana, Field Station, where he was in charge of dairy research for about 32 years. In May, 1961, the USDA moved the Dairy Research Center to Utah State University, Logan, Utah, and Dave Kopland moved with his cows which had become so much a part of his life.
Contributions to the Dairy Industry were many through the years. He helped pioneer the proved sire program for which the USDA has been so well known.
