DairyCast update for May 4, 2010, Hay Crop Quality and Quantity
Submitted by John Blue on May 4, 2010 - 11:11pm.
Tag terms:
It looks like the demand picture is getting a little brighter. At least the foodservice side of the picture appears to be improving according to the National Restaurant Association. Its monthly performance index, based on a survey of restaurant owners, rose above 100 in March for the first time since August 2007. Hopefully the optimism of restaurateurs can translate to high demand for dairy products and increased profit for dairy producers.

Dr. Terry Etherton
Family Dairy Farms and Immigration Reform Dr. Etherton shares thoughts from Chad Dechow, Associate Professor, Dairy Cattle Genetics Department of Dairy and Animal Science, The Pennsylvania State University "The American Farm Bureau (AFB) has declared the 'Season Right for Meaningful Immigration Reform.' The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) has issued dire warnings of farms being forced to close their doors and store milk prices skyrocketing if immigration reforms that guarantee an uninterrupted flow of low-cost laborers are not enacted. Such claims ignore decades of store milk price trends and the heavy loss of dairy farms this country has already experienced despite (and perhaps because of) the steady pace of illegal immigration."
