Dairy Farmer Is a Modern Business Man
A dairy farmer today is a businessperson with large capital and active involvement in promotional ventures. The American Dairy Association, formed in 1940 by farmers, funds a nationwide promotion program via two cents per 100 pounds of milk, aiming to boost dairy foods sales through advertising, merchandising, and research. The association, farmer financed and controlled, has grown to over 200,000 members in all 50 states and supports state units that run local campaigns to supplement the national effort. Bigger men set better marks as diet improves athletic performance and overall health.
