The dairy industry currently faces a number of challenges ranging from global trade obstacles to the rise of plant-based dairy alternatives. Dairy Foods asked the top executives from leading dairy associations to provide their thoughts related to current industry issues and opportunities — and to discuss how their organizations are helping members succeed in trying times.
Participants include Blake Anderson, CEO of the American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI); Michael Dykes, president and CEO of the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA); Brad Legreid, executive director of the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association (WDPA); John Umhoefer, executive director of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA); and Tom Vilsack, president and CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC).
