Thirty-five years ago when I began my career in the dairy foods industry, it was a unique time. The dawn of the 1980s brimmed with promise and hope for the United States. Ronald Reagan had been elected the 40th president, and it was a time of big, new and exciting ideas.
But what I found most exhilarating and rewarding were the people in the dairy foods industry and the aspirations we shared; we had hopes and ambitions for a developing and expanding industry unbridled by government regulations.
