With the help of Mary Knigge with the National Milk Producers Federation, we have this picture from the IDairy press conference at World Dairy Expo.
Dairy Council Spots on YouTube
It’s amazing what you can find on the internet today. If you like old tv commercials you might enjoy a couple of old animated Dairy Council spots that are posted on AdJab.

Dairy Barn Fashion
It’s been a long trip and sometimes you start to get a little goofy. I tried to interview old Betsy here but she wasn’t interested.
As you might expect, we had to suit up to go into the diary barn.
I wasn’t the only one thinking I looked pretty fashionable in my blue suit.
Norwegian Cow Record System
One of the companies helping sponsor the IFAJ Congress here in Norway is GENO Breeding and A.I. Association.
On our dairy tour today, Torstein Steine, Director of Breeding and Research, gave us an overview of the Norwegian Cow Record System. GENO is very involved in this project which has an immense amount of data online now.
Robotic Dairy Expert
Before we got to go into the dairy barn on today’s IFAJ Congress tour we learned about automatic or robotic milking from the expert.
He’s Gunnar Pettersson, Swedish University of Agricultural Science. He used a power point presentation but I recorded him anyway and am providing an edited version of that talk.
