What do you think is in store for print media relating to the dairy industry?

We’re going to see fewer publications; we have to. We’re already seeing that. And more will be digital. The only thing I fear is when things are on the computer, they’re gone so quickly. I am afraid that when you lose some of that print material, you’ll lose some of that history, too. And maybe some of the personal side of the business.

What will your life look like post-Journal?

I’m a dual citizen and although my family would love to have me come back, Canada is going to be my home. It has been for most of my life! I love the people; they’ve become my family.

I hope to stay involved in the dairy cattle business and perhaps do some freelance work. I’d like to get more involved in some of the Ag organizations. I want the Holstein industry to still be part of my life. I’ve worked so much, you don’t think much beyond that. I work a lot; twelve-hour days are pretty common for me. In the fall, there’s a lot of weekend work. I don’t have children, I was never married, and as a friend recently remarked to Peter and me, the Journal has been our life, our child. That’s why it’s going to be hard to walk away from it. Not having families, we could commit so much time to it. We did it because we loved it. If you love something, you do it.
