“I think the ‘Protecting Your Profits’ webinars are very interesting and relevant. Getting facts and figures is one thing, but getting information as to why dairy futures markets are doing what they are doing was great. Sometimes we just barrel through our day with our head down, but we don’t look around to see what might be going on in other parts of the country or even in the world. The webinar helped me understand things better and maybe I can help a customer understand it better.” -Dan Smith, DairyOne
