Barbara O’Brien has completed her first full year as CEO of Dairy Management, Inc. (DMI). In this episode of DairyVoice, Joel Hastings returns to talk with Barb about some pivotal accomplishments in 2022. Barb discusses the collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, the record-breaking year in dairy exports, and the continued focus on the “Dairy Dream Team”, along with several other topics.

As Senior Vice President of Strategic Intelligence for DMI, Eve Pollet is in charge of the crystal ball for dairy. In this episode, she talks about how dairy can meet the needs of consumers in the future... consumers who want functional foods for health and wellness. And, consumers who will even tailor their nutrition based on their individual genomic profiles. As she says, "The future is here now; it's not just evenly distributed." Join Joel Hastings of DairyBusiness News for this fascinating conversation.

Let's make pediatric physical therapy a true evidence-based field! Can we count on you?

Egmar Longo,  Ana Carolina de Campos, and Robert J. Palisano

It has been five years since the publication of the systematic review by Novak et al.1 that reported levels of evidence for 64 interventions for children with cerebral palsy (CP) across the world – green light (do it), yellow light (moderate evidence – assess the results) and lack of evidence (don’t do it). We are challenged to think about what has changed in the national and international scenario: are we the same physical therapists as 5, 10, or 20 years ago? Have we changed our practice to keep up with best evidence and family-centered services that engage children and families in goal-setting and intervention planning?

Our reflection today is: which side do you support? Are you a knowledge-broker or an active resistor? We need more activists to change the current scenario. Together we can promote evidence-based practice in pediatric physical therapy and give all children and families the best care that they deserve. Can we count on you?

COVID-19 not withstanding, the dairy industry continues to look ahead... all the way to 2030. Dairy farmer and National Dairy Board member Alex Peterson and Tom Gallagher, DMI's CEO, talk with Joel Hastings of DairyBusiness News about dairy's future and the food industry. Alex also describes his family's low input farming, a pasture-based, crossbred herd of 160 milking cows, while Tom talks about dairy's "pivot" in 2020.

Leveraging managed mobility services allows government agencies to implement technologies that help its workforce stay connected. For DMI, this function has landed them the top spot on a recent Gartner Magic Quadrant report. DMI Senior Vice President & Chief Digital Officer Michael Deittrick and President of Commercial Managed Mobility Services D.J. Oreb discuss this technology's importance in government to transform enterprises.

This episode is sponsored by DMI.

As the head of the national dairy check-off, Gallagher explains to Joel Hastings of DairyBusiness that the industry has not done a good job of sharing a vision for smaller farms... and it needs to. Tom Gallagher, the CEO of Dairy Management, Inc. says the diversity in size and geography in the U.S. dairy industry is one of its great strengths.

In this edition of DairyVoice, Gallagher talks about plant-based beverages, which he does not see as a huge concern, and lab-created dairy proteins - a real cloud on the horizon for the dairy industry. But with his "2030 Plan", he wants to leap-frog dairy into the future with consumers and their food choices.

Gallagher begins the segment explaining new tactics being undertaken by animal rights activist groups toward the dairy industry, which he sees as especially worrisome. 

Listen in as Tom Gallagher, CEO Dairy Management Inc and Lucas Lentsch, CEO of Midwest Dairy, discuss how checkoff is working to take advantage of new opportunities for dairy.
