Expo Is 30
The first World Dairy Expo was
held in 1967. Known in its early
years at the World Food Exposi
tion, World Dairy Expo has seen
tremendous growth over the past
30 years. In 1995 more than
68,700 people came from 78
countries to see 1,800 head of cat
tle compete in seven breed shows
along with more than 1,200 booths
of dairy technology exhibits.
That was also the first year that
the state agriculture department’s
marketing division ventured into
world markets, establishing ties
with Japanese importers and parti
cipating in an international food
show.
“When we began offering ex
port services in 1966, one of our
earliest steps was to help organize
the first World Dairy Expo,” said
Debbie Crave, current director of
the ag department’s International
Agri-Business Center.
Hours for World Dairy Expo
are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
through Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to
4 p,m. on Sunday.
