MADISON, Wis. -- The global dairy industry is gearing up for the world’s largest dairy-focused event – World Dairy Expo. Officials are anticipating over 65,000 producers and industry professionals gathering from over 90 countries. Attendees can expect to experience innovative new concepts at Expo Seminars, Virtual Farm Tours, dairy cattle shows, dairy company displays and many contests. The 2012 theme, “Market Fresh,” exemplifies the show mantra of sharing fresh ideas for the future success of the dairy industry around the globe.

Dairy producers who want to discover the latest in technologies, products and services should find the New Holland Trade Center a welcome expansion of the huge trade show.

Dairy Forage Seminars will offer producers forage quality presentations on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. World Forage Analysis Superbowl entries will be on display throughout the week.

Dairy cattle show fans will be treated to facility improvements this year to enhance their experience as they watch over 2500 head of North America’s finest cattle parade across the famed “colored shavings.” All seven dairy breeds will compete for the ultimate supreme champion award on Saturday, October 6 at 5 p.m. A new, center-hung video board featuring 472 square feet of screens will provide the best viewing of ExpoTV, featuring each breed class as they are evaluated and placed.
