Description
Brazilian livestock consultant Ton Kramer joins us from World Dairy Expo, where he's leading a group of Brazilian dairy producers and industry technicians on a first-of-its-kind mission with USDA and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture. In this interview, he compares dairying in Brazil and the U.S., from managing heat stress in tropical conditions to the U.S. shift toward paying farmers for milk components like protein rather than volume. He also talks about the global challenge of promoting dairy's role in human nutrition and the family roots that still drive Brazilian dairy farms.
