WELCOME to the 120th Annual Meeting of the California Creamery Operators Association (CCOA). At last year’s annual meeting we discussed “Planning for the Future of the California Dairy Industry”. For our 2019 Annual Meeting our theme is: “Responding to a Changing California Dairy Industry.“ This year’s program should provide you with specific tools and insights that can help you address the many changes that are occurring in the near term in our industry and give you new insights to develop better long-term strategies for a successful future. Global Markets and Economy, Trade Policy, Consumer Trends, California Political Climate, latest on California’s Milk Marketing Order, and Transportation headline this year’s meeting.
