摘要：	Sometimes dairy farmers can get away with skipping a minor chore--like maybe doing some maintenance in the milk barn or changing their tractors oil on schedule. But one thing the industry can't afford to skip is recruiting the next generation of dairy farmers. If the sons and daughters of today's dairy farmers decide they would rather work in a bank or a computer shop than on the farm, it won't matter how much we improve herd genetics and feeding strategies, or how many innovative new dairy products co-ops develop. The industry will move somewhere else. As you can read on page 7 of this issue, its not that farm kids today are afraid of hard work; its more the unrelenting time demands of dairy farming--and the uncertainty of being able to earn a decent living from the farm.
