World Dairy Expo Celebrates 50 Years
If you consider Wisconsin’s $44 billion dairy business to be all about big business, you might be surprised to find out that
96 percent of all of Wisconsin’s dairy farms are actually family-owned.
That family touch also is discernible in the World Dairy Expo that this year will celebrate its 50th anniversary when more
than 70,000 visitors will attend the exposition October 4 through 8 here in Madison at the Alliant Energy Center campus.
Scott Bentley, general manager of the World Dairy Expo since 2013, told members of the Rotary Club of Madison at its
June 1 Club meeting that the exposition represents the 25th largest trade show in the U.S. and generates an economic
impact of more than $30 million. But yet the Expo holds on to its humble beginnings by including a commitment to provide
educational efforts for the state’s youth and including various competitions. All this is accomplished with a small staff that
relies on an army of volunteers, many of whom are affiliated with the Badger Dairy Club of the University of Wisconsin.
“We are the world’s finest dairy trade show,” Bentley said. “The focus is on dairy equipment, products and cattle.” Indeed,
2,500 heads of cattle from 40 different states “attend” as well.
The Expo attracts attendees from 95 different countries, and among the 850 commercial exhibitors, 30 different nations
are represented.
Wisconsin, which trails California in actual milk production (but according to Bentley, California’s status is threatened by
the potential of future water shortages), is a natural home for the World Expo. In recent years, Wisconsin has dominated the
cheese competitions, taking 38 percent of all international cheese competitions. There are 45,000 dairy farms in Wisconsin.
A trend that is now growing in the U.S. and here in Wisconsin and that has been in the making for decades in Europe is
“automated milking,” a process whereby robotic technology in individual milking stalls recognizes the cows by sophisticated
technology and accordingly milks the cows. Cows typically produce between 50 and 75 pounds of milk per day twice a day
for an annual lactation period of 305 days.
Our thanks to Scott Bentley for making a presentation to our club this week; to Ben Hebebrand for preparing this review
article and to WisconsinEye for recording the presentation. CLICK to watch the video.

Bob Shumaker Receives Rotary Club of Madison Youth Service Award
Presented by Rich Leffler -- June 1, 2016
Each year, our club recognizes six members for their service in one of Rotary’s five avenues of
service, which are club, community, international, vocational, and youth. I am pleased to be able
to introduce one of our members today as the recipient of our Rotary Club of Madison Youth
Service Award.
Bob Shumaker is a litigation attorney with the Dewitt Ross and Stevens Law Firm, and he
joined our Rotary Club in 2002.
Bob is a former teacher and, like many in that noble profession, he has a passion not only for
teaching and learning but also for sharing those passions with youngsters. Since joining Rotary,
he has been active in many of our club’s youth-related activities. Bob served on our Youth
Awards Committee from 2004 to 2010. He has been a member of our Ethics Symposium
Committee since 2004, and he chaired the event in 2011. Bob also organizes Symposium
activities at local high schools, and he has even been known to drive hundreds of miles to talk to
other Rotary Clubs in an effort to expand our Ethics Symposium to other areas. Bob has served on our Madison Rotary
Foundation Scholarship Committee since 2009, chairing the committee for the past two years, and he is also a mentor to
one of our Rotary scholars.
For each of these roles, Bob goes above and beyond. If you serve on a committee with Bob, you will see emails from him
day or night, often after midnight, as he generates new ideas and suggests enhancements to make our programs even
better. He can be counted on to tend to every detail to ensure a successful event. Last week’s scholarship program is the
most recent example of how his dedication and passion for a project makes for a very successful program. Bob also served
on our Club Board of Directors from 2013 to 2015.
For Bob’s tireless efforts, at our June 1 Rotary luncheon, he was presented with a pin and a certificate as our 2016 Rotary
Club of Madison Youth Service Award recipient. Our Club has also made a $200 gift in his name to The Rotary Foundation
of Rotary International.
Thank you, Bob, for your continuing “Service Above Self” on behalf of our Rotary Club of Madison and its youth
programs.
That’s not all! After Bob was presented with the award, he asked Rich to read the following message: “I very much
appreciate and I am honored to receive a Rotary award for service to youth. But there is another member of my family who
deserves more recognition for her service to youth. On Monday, my wife, Janet Kilde Shumaker, will retire after 47 years as
an English teacher in Beaver Dam. I have made a contribution to the Synergy Scholarship Fund in honor of Janet's 47 years
of outstanding service to thousands of students.”
Thank you, Bob!
