Brandon Treichler, “I can’t remember the year, but I think Charlotte, North Carolina, and I’m thinking like 2004 was my first NMC meeting. I’ve been coming ever since then. I think I made just about every year in between there. It’s that valuable to me. I look forward to those interactions both at the meeting and then outside the meeting. It’s a network of people I can call, text and e-mail. When I see things in the field or when I have questions or just to get a different perspective on things, my network of milk quality connections that I made through NMC is really valuable to me on a daily basis.”
