Opportunities to produce organic milk for Organic Valley Family of Farms Cooperative will be explored at a meeting in McIntosh on Wednesday, March 1.
The meeting will be at the McIntosh Community Center, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Speakers include: Why Organic? by Jim Stordahl; Organic Valley company information and pay schedules by Al Hass; and How to Produce Milk without Antibiotics by Dr. Paul Dettloff, DVM.
A pizza lunch will be provided. There is no fee for the event, which is sponsored by Clearwater and Polk County Extension Service.
Dettloff began his practice as a conventional veterinarian over 30 years ago, but eventually switched to alternative methods. Largely through his own research and dedication, Dettloff has become one of the most knowledgeable and experienced veterinarians on organic herd-health techniques.
