A veterinarian from the Netherlands says their dairy farmers have many of the same challenges found elsewhere but on a different scale. Dr. Gitty Oosterga is attending World Dairy Expo as a coordinator for the Master Innovative Dairy Chain Management study in the Netherlands. She tells Brownfield dairying in her homeland is similar to the U.S. except for one thing. “It’s the scale. That’s what I’ve seen, so we are, we still have in the Netherlands a lot of family businesses.”
And, she says farmers and consumers talk about land use issues.
