Strength in numbers

Approximately 350 dairy producers, Vita Plus staff and industry partners recently gathered in Merrillville, Indiana for Vita Plus Dairy Summit 2012.  This year’s event centered on the theme of “Strength in numbers.” Attendees learned about cutting-edge research and tools from top-notch speakers and networked with fellow progressive producers from across the Midwest.

One of the biggest highlight’s of Dairy Summit 2012 was the producer panel, which featured three regulatory case studies.  Participants discussed their experiences with OSHA, environmental regulation and immigration agencies.  They also offered tips to fellow producers to build good relationships with these agencies should they ever find themselves in similar situations in the future.  Check out the video recap of the producer panel below.
