It’s Time for Summer...
• The ice is gone and it’s time to get hockey off the airways so everyone can enjoy America’s Favorite Pastime. • The Belmont Stakes should be enjoyable, though it won’t be as exciting as a real showdown for the Triple Crown. • As usual, Red Sox fans are enjoying an exciting start to the season, but it’s not important until the leaves begin to fall. • It is time for Bobby, Cy and all the rest of our old friends in Packer Nation to send whiny prima donna #12 on his way.

The dairy business is where I’ve focused my efforts throughout my nearly 90 years of life. Going forward, Stardell will be diversifying into some other ventures, more beef, for one. I’ve enjoyed the CONNECTIONs I’ve made with you in this space for over 30 years. As always, the dairy industry will continue on its quest for improvement and profit.
