Dear Dairyman and/or friend of the dairy farms of America,

You are about to be introduced to a new kind of advisory service for dairy production management. The first document within the Table Of Contents of this website contains a general description of the services provided by KOW Consulting Association advisors and our Mission Statement. A careful reading of our Mission Statement will reveal a truly wholistic approach to dairy farm management with a strong emphasis on pursuit of the financial interests of the farmer (not agribusiness).

In order to better communicate the point of view and uniquely farmer focused emphasis of our Association of truly independent consultants, several historical editorial position papers have been included in the non-subscription / "free" section of this website. Access to our entire website (including production management advice) is available via a yearly subscription fee of $120 U.S. An e-mail specific access (password) will be granted for one year upon receipt of check or money order paid to WEAVER FEEDING & MANAGEMENT, LLC.

Thank you for your interest in KOW Consulting Association.

Sincerely,
Tom Weaver
