during fiscal year 1984.
“The Road Ahead”, the theme of
the meeting, looks at the
cooperative from the perspective
of “Where We Are,” “Where We
Are Going” and “How We Are
Going To Get There.” This year
there have been many changes and
challenges in the dairy industry,
especially in the Southeast.
Drought, economic conditions,
government surpluses and the
dairy diversion program have all

work together cooperatively to
overcome those challenges and
pave a smooth road for the future
of the total dairy industry in the
Southeast.
