The meeting was attended by over 160 people, including 63 del egates representing the six-state Northeast service area. Nclvin Empet, general manager of Northeast DHIA said, “The year-end financial results far exceeded the budget expecta tions.” He also cited several suc cesses of the cooperative during the past year. Among those successes were: 1. The completion of Phase 1 of the Day-One project. The Cooperative now has over 170 field technicians equipped with laptop computers. This provides members with more timely infor mation so decisions can be made before mail-back reports reach the farm. 2. Unbundled services to better serve the variety of needs within today’s dairy industry. Now the cooperative can individualize report packages rather than having a few packages that attempt to meet the needs of over 5,000 members. 3. The formation of Dairy Man agement Technologies, a group dedicated to the sales and support of Dairy Comp 305 software, and Afikim electronic herd manage ment systems.
