Dairy Seminar Redux

We rejoined the China International Dairy Development Summit Seminar, and Dr. Mike Vayda presented an overview of Vermont agriculture. His Powerpoint presentation included both English and Chinese captions, and his talk was translated.

Following Mike's presentation, seminar attendees asked questions of our delegation on various dairy industry matters. The questions showed a strong knowledge of U.S. dairy markets, and I was surprised at how many attendees had an excellent command of English. The question and answer session--including follow-up questions--was almost entirely in English.
