Plans for the 20th Annual World Dairy Expo feature nearly 400 commercial exhibitors displaying the latest available dairy farm technology, products and services. Dairy experts are scheduled three times daily Wednesday through Saturday in the Education Tent. Timely and informative speakers will address day to day farm management needs such as feeding and health care for good replacement heifers, preventative techniques for calf scours and mastitis, record-keeping systems and helpful tips for raising top quality forage. A moti¬ vational speaker will get you excited about the dairy future, state and national dairy promotion board rep¬ resentatives will discuss "How Wisely Is Your Advertising Dollar Being Spent?", and a panel of industry experts will offer their predictions on where the dairy industry is headed over the course of the next decade. The line-up of expert presentations will conclude with the timely question, "What Did The Whole Herd Buy¬ out Accomplish?"
