IDFA CEO lays out the challenges facing the dairy industry
Michael Dykes served as vice president of government affairs for Monsanto for the past 19 years.
Michael D. Dykes had quite the coming out party this morning in Orlando, Fla. Speaking before hundreds of dairy processors and others allied with the industry, he told them “I love this job.”
Though he stepped into the role of president and chief executive officer of the International Dairy Foods Association on Oct. 1, his breakfast address to members at the association’s annual Dairy Forum represented his introduction to a mass audience. He succeeds Connie Tipton, who retired.
