BOWLING GREEN, Ky.
“Animal Agriculture Dealing
With New Realities” is the theme
for the 2002 annual meeting of
the National Institute for Animal
Agriculture (NIAA). Consider
able attention will be devoted to
food and agricultural security,
bioterrorism, animal health safe
guarding and emerging diseases.
Scheduled for March 24-28, at
the Palmer House Hilton in
downtown Chicago, 111., this
gathering will include producers,
veterinarians, business execu
tives, scientists, academicians,
state and federal regulatory offi
cials and other stakeholders in

try.
Among the speakers invited to

Part of making the Pennsylva
nia dairy industry stronger is
changing how the state’s non
farm population looks at the
business of producing milk.
“Milk: It Does an Economy
Good!” shows what a successful
dairy farm business can do eco
nomically and socially for its sur
rounding community. Farming
does not look the same as it did
twenty years ago, and it does not
work the same either. This 10
minute video shows how dairy
farm businesses, as they have
continued to develop, are having
an even greater positive impact
on various factors of community
development.
Both videos make excellent
presentation pieces for group
meetings. To obtain a free copy
of either of these videos, contact
Michelle Jaymes-Parks at (717)

Dr. Kitching, recognized globally
for his expertise in foot-and
mouth disease (FMD), will speak
on FMD, Hog Cholera and BSE
Lessons Learned from the U.K.
Experience.
