Prevention is better than cure : : editor's note
It's good to be back! Although I thoroughly enjoyed spending the last few months at home, getting to know a brand-new tiny human, I must say it feels good to talk about dairy again. A huge thank you to Karen and the Agri Connect team for their superb work over the last few issues. I knew that they would take good care of you while I was gone.
And suddenly, without warning, the middle of the year has come and gone. This means most dairy farmers, except those in the Western Cape, are preparing for spring and the onset of the rainy season with all the pesky pest outbreaks associated with this time of year.
