Social Mooovers

My new career is in the dairy industry. While I am part of the 98% of the population who has been raised off of the farms, in the last four months I have learned that dairy farmers have an impressive story to tell. Since I work in the communications department, I am excited to find new ways to help us non-farmers understand the dairying experience.

Farming is physically demanding. Dairying is a volatile industry, so dairy farmers have to be great businessmen as well as part economist. They also love the land and their animals, and work hard to understand agriculture and veterinary issues so they can keep their herds healthy, happy, and well-fed.

Education seduction

Nights like tonight make me happy. After 25 years, I have returned to the educational arena to pursue my masters degree in Marketing Communications. The first class I am taking is called, "Leadership and Management in Marketing Communications." The discussion is fulfilling, and I can't wait to return each week.
