Dairy farmers can add value to their milk by processing it into products like cheese, yogurt, butter, and milk. Developing these value-added products requires time, money, commitment, and additional skills beyond dairy farming. Farmers need to carefully consider if they have the resources, experience, and market potential to successfully undertake a value-added dairy enterprise. State regulations also govern dairy processing, so farmers must contact their state's department of agriculture to understand requirements before starting a value-added operation. Demand for organic dairy products is growing due to consumer preferences, though organic certification adds complexity and costs.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Dairy farmers can add value to their milk by processing and marketing their own products, such as
cheeses, yogurt, butter, ice cream, and farm-bottled milk. Many consumers are willing to pay a
premium for locally produced, high-quality, farmstead dairy products; organic certification may
further enhance the market potential.
Developing a product line, production facilities, and a niche marketing strategy will take time, money,
and commitment. It is unlikely that the enterprise will be profitable in the first three to five years.
Additional skills beyond producing milk will be required. Here are some basic questions dairy
producers need to ask themselves before they get into processing and marketing:
• Do I have the resources to do this?
• Do I really want to do this?
• Do I have the experience, people skills, and information to do this?
• How much profit potential is there with this enterprise?
• How will I market the product and what is the customer base available?
• Do I have the financial resources needed to support this enterprise during the start-up period?
Regulations
Dairy food processors—including small farms adding value to their own dairy commodities—are subject
to a dizzying array of state and local regulations and inspections. Aspiring processors should check
carefully with regulatory authorities for specific requirements during the planning stages of the enterprise,
and once again as the equipment is ready to be installed. Some states may have training requirements for
persons intending to process dairy food products.
State and local regulatory agencies have primary responsibility for enforcement of sanitation
requirements on dairy farms and at dairy processing plants. Producers must contact their Department
of Agriculture (Department of Health in Arkansas) for specific regulations and requirements before
proceeding with any other steps. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture has a
directory at <http://www.nasda-hq.org/nasda/nasda/member_information/gen_main.htm>. A
more general listing of all state and local regulatory agencies by state is available at the FDA's Directory
of State Officials 2001 at <http://www.fda.gov/ora/fed_state/directorytable.htm>.

Law professor Neil Hamilton's 235-page Legal Guide for Direct Farm Marketing is a good source of
information about laws on marketing products directly to consumers and to retail and wholesale
buyers. It was written to address producers’ questions about the legal aspects of direct farm
marketing. The book provides many contacts and resources across the U.S., including state and federal
inspectors, organizations, and others. The cost of the book is $20.00. To order, contact Drake

Organic Milk
At the time of this writing, the National Organic Program (NOP) is scheduled to begin implementation
of the Final Rule for national organic standards in September 2002. As of this date, any producers
seeking initial certification will have to comply with the requirements of the Final Rule. Producers who
are already certified (by an agent that has received USDA accreditation) will have to achieve
compliance with the NOP standard at their next annual inspection. For additional information on
organic certification, request ATTRA's Organic Certification & The National Organic Program or visit
NOP's website and review the Final Rule’s standards for organic dairy production at
<http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/nop2000/nop2/finalrulepages/finalrulemap.htm>.
Demand for organic milk and milk products continues to grow nationwide. The Organic & Natural
News article "Return to the Golden Age of Dairy” (1) states:
According to SPINS/ACNielsen, the organic dairy industry has experienced tremendous growth
in almost every category it tracks. Organic milk gallons have taken the gold medal with a 148.8-
percent increase in the 12 months ending July 2000 compared to the previous year. Other
categories have made incredible leaps as well. Sales of organic cottage cheese and ricotta have
risen 53.58 percent with packaged organic cheese, organic butter and organic sour creams trailing
closely behind; all posted increases in the 30-percent range.
The growing demand for organic dairy products is driven primarily by consumers' belief in the higher
quality and safety of these products, and their awareness of the positive environmental, animal
welfare, and ethical impacts of organic agricultural practices. Many are concerned about the use of
antibiotics and of rBST (recombinant bovine somatotropin), a genetically engineered Bovine Growth
Hormone that is injected into an estimated 30 percent of lactating cows in conventional dairies. These
are some of the reasons why consumers choose organic dairy products despite higher prices (2).
Organic milk comes from cows that are not given any hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides. They have
access to open pastures and are fed 100-percent organic feeds—grown in fields that are chemical-free
for at least 3 years. Organic milk must be handled separately from conventional milk and never
intermixed. Organic milk and milk products must be processed, either on-farm or off-farm, in a
certified organic plant.

Sources of Further Information
The state Department of Agriculture is the best source of help and information. The producer will need
to comply with state law first; everything else is secondary.
An excellent source of information is the Hometown Creamery Revival Project. This project is funded
by the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program of the USDA and managed by
Ms. Vicki Dunaway. The Hometown Creamery Revival promotes on-farm processing as a means of
making dairying a sustainable way of life for small farms.
Currently the project produces a quarterly newsletter, CreamLine, and maintains a list of equipment
suppliers, events, and links to relevant websites at <http://metalab.unc.edu/creamery/>. A free
sample issue of CreamLine is available on request. The subscription cost is $22.00 per year or $40.00 for
two years. For more information, visit the project’s website or contact:

The April 2001 issue of Ag Innovative News, from the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute in
Minnesota, did a special series focusing on producer-owned dairy processing. The series of articles
included "Bottle at your own risk," "Pasturing for profit," "The milk-fed economy," and "Bittersweet
end." These articles focus on feasibility studies showing that the prospects are dim for newcomers to
enter the current well-established milk processing and distribution system. However, the studies do
show niche marketing opportunities in the natural foods market. These articles are available on-line at
