School in Laporte in 1980, John has
worked on the farm and on con
struction.
He is enrolled in the Dairy Herd
Management program to leam
more about farming and to become
more employable since he would
like to work for a farmer as a dairy
herd manager.
Instructor Patton said he feels
one reason the course is enjoying
such a successful first year is
directly related to the struggle of
today’s dairy farmer. “I think that
right now the profit margin is so
small that only top managers will
survive. These students are willing
to learn the basic business
techniques which will enable them
to survive. There is nothing worse
than the feeling the dairy farmer is
currently experiencmg-that the
life is being squeezed out of him.
These students have come to
College having made a com
mitment to make a go of it. They
are reinforcing that commitment
by learning all they can about the
dairy industry.”
It’s A New Look!!
