Blake is a native of Minnesota where he was reared on a Brown Swiss dairy farm. His B.S. degree was from the University of Minnesota. From 1968 to 1971 he was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Arequipa, Peru, as a dairy cattle specialist for the Ministry of Agriculture. He served as a technical coordinator for the Experiment in International Living in Brattleboro, VT, and Queretaro, Mexico in 1971, and later taught in a forage-livestock program in El Salvador.

Following this international experience he entered graduate school at North Carolina State University and obtained a Master of Technology for International Development in 1973. His Ph.D. was from the same university in 1976 following a dissertation study of an Economic Evaluation of Selection for Improved Milking Labor Efficiency in Dairy Cattle.
