“We want to showcase the prog
ress and excellence of Brazilian
Jerseys. We have broken the tour
into two parts: a complete version
for those who wish to see more
farms and tourist sites in Brazil,
and a shorter version to accommo
date only those who wish to attend
just Expomilk and tour farms in

At the six-month point of
employment, an evaluation is con
ducted by the region manager. The
region manager conducts this eva
luation with a visit to a farm dur
ing the testing operation. It is
determined then if the technician
is capable of continuing with lim
ited supervision.
A yearly evaluation is conduced
to determine the needs of a techni

Part of the yearly evaluation is
having ideas from the dairymen
within that circuit This is done by
giving each dairyman the oppor

his technician. This information as
well as input from the region man
ager can be helpful in determining
each technician’s particular needs.
