World Dairy Expo Recap ... International Style

A lay person may have a difficult time understanding my excitement with attending World Dairy Expo, so I will try to show in pictures just why it is truly a neat experience. If you are from Wisconsin, while walking around the grounds, you may run into any number of people you know either a neighbor or people you know from one of the many farm organizations you belong to. On the other hand, if you walk quietly you may also one of many foreign languages. The US Government has a terrible time getting along with Iran but judging from the picture below, the Iranians have no trouble coming to soak up some the latest and greatest in the dairy industry in the US. Pictured above, left is an attendee from Tanzania and above right I am pictured with Canadian Ken Empey. When consulted by the powers that be at Expo as who I would like to interview I expressed an interest in interviewing someone that has judged one of the great cattle shows. Lisa Behnke delivered (as usual) and we had the chance to meet Ken Empey. Ken reported he has judged in 28 countries and was an extremely interesting gentleman.
