World Dairy Expo Guess Whose Boot
This is a World Dairy Expo edition of “Guess Whose Boot.” Not boots, but boot. It works like this. Guess by making a comment and the first person who gets it right will get an AgWired t-shirt. So, guess away. It’s an easy one. World Dairy Expo 2008 Photo Album

Marketing and Media at World Dairy Expo
The first two people I got to know at World Dairy Expo were John Rozum (sales) and Lisa Behnke (media). In fact, World Dairy Diary grew out of an idea that John had several years ago now.

International Forum for Women in Dairying
It’s the final day of World Dairy Expo and things are getting more relaxed for the agriblogger. It’s also a lot quieter here in the media room. We’re down to the die-hards I guess.
