Lewis Campbell was the feature speaker at the meeting. Campbell’s in spiring talk on The Decade of the Seventies brought at tention to changes in cow numbers and DHIA, genetic advancements in A.I. and the dairyman in the future. Campbell said the future is bright for the dairyman and not to be fearful of new techniques and practices in the dairy industry.

The price per 100 pounds of milk has doubl- 6BODT s ed whereas the average breeding fee in the last ten years has risen from $7.22 to $11.31. “Today’s dairymen are better educated, more knowledgeable, and manage larger herds. They have opportunities for almost unlimited sire selection”, says Campbell. “The future of your co-op is up to you. NEBA is going into the 80’s financially strong and the dairyman should demand good service from highly proven bulls for continued success,” said Campbell in his concluding remarks.
