Please join us for coffee and brainstorming. Join Braintree staff and just hang out for an hour of kicking around business ideas. We will be hanging out at the PB &Jelly Beans on Temple Court in Downtown Mansfield. What are we going to do? That is up to you. Bring your business ideas (even if it is on a napkin) and we will talk about it. Need help with a marketing plan, let the group help you? Do you have talents or time and would like to interact with others starting or operating their business? Then we are looking for you!!! Our goal is to be informal and flexible. Our desire is to help grow the business community through group interaction and collaboration and of course drink coffee... No cost to attend but of course PB& Jelly Bean would appreciate your patronage.

| Heather Schofield, Communications Manager of Dairy Farmers of America, one of the largest cooperatives in the nation, presented "DFA's Role in Today's Dairy Industry" to the 40 attendees of this month's Agribusiness Forum. DFA has members from 48 states, with numbers of members nearing 18,000. Members are guaranteed a market; meaning that DFA will purchase dairy farmers milk and sell it using economies of scale. This enables DFA to sell large quantities of milk to milk retailers and to dairy product companies who produces items such as cheese, yogurt and butter. They have also endeavored to increase the demand for milk by using some for their own production of Border's cheese, powdered milk for brands such as Starbuck's, creating Sport Shake-a milkshake energy drink, and joining together with Keller's creamery to make butter. Heather described to her audience the many ventures that Dairy Farmers of America have taken to help in repairing a falling economy. |
