DAIRY FARMING IN THE FRASER VALLEY By: Jenny Hanson // Communications Manager, CRI

ast November, I packed my bag and with notebook and camera in tow traveled to Vancouver to spend a couple days with Genex Profit Development Specialist Nick Coman and Genex customers in British Columbia, Canada. Nick, or Mr. Toystory as he is commonly referred to by many customers in the area, joined Genex in 2007. He grew up in Romania and earned a degree in animal breeding from the University of Agronomical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine in Bucharest. His experiences – living in different countries and working in different industries – have made him a persistent, dependable and respectful individual. His education, practical
experience gained from employment as a dairy manager and eagerness to continue learning have made him a well-rounded, knowledgeable Genex representative. I first met Nick in 2007 when he traveled to the Genex Headquarters in Shawano, Wis., for an orientation; I was excited to witness the relationships he had formed with British Columbian dairy producers. My travels with Nick involved conversations with six dairy producers located within the Fraser Valley, where the Fraser River passes through some of the most fertile agricultural land in this Canadian province. Enjoy reading the stories of those six dairies.
