SHAWANO, Wis. - Four individuals with strong dairy backgrounds are now prepared for exciting careers in the dairy artificial insemination (A.I.) industry. Rolland Sears of Perry, N.Y., Tim Nemitz of Buffalo City, Wis., Mario Cantin of Montmagny, Quebec, and Joseph Spangler of New Berlin, Pa., completed a one-week training course at Genex Cooperative, Inc. headquarters accompanied by additional field training.
