Clarence W. Reaves, professor emeritus of the University of Florida Dairy Science Department, has been named to the Florida Dairy Hall of Fame.

Reaves worked as a milker, herdsman, DHIA supervisor, and Assistant Extension Dairyman in Tennessee before going to Florida as Extension Dairyman in 1947. Under his leadership, the DHIA program was developed statewide, a dairy cattle artificial breeding program was initiated in 1948 with 16 cooperative inseminating associations formed from 1948 to 1955, and the State 4-H Dairy Show was started in 1948.

As Extension Dairy Science project leader, Reaves led programs that assisted in the rapid development of the industry in Florida from 502 million pounds of milk in 1947 to 1,785 million pounds in 1971. Production per cow increased from 3,820 to 9,201 pounds.

Following retirement as Extension Dairyman Emeritus, he served two years in Central America as an U. S. AID project advisor and currently does part-time evaluations for the American Breeders Service.
