COVER STORY<br />
18MARGINSMART: The<br />
Bottom Line in Profitability<br />
Brian Gerrits, Lake Breeze Dairy, states “We have<br />
implemented MARGINSMART on our dairy<br />
and it has made an immediate impact. We now<br />
know at any time during the day what our milk<br />
margins and general profitability oppor tunities are.<br />
MARGINSMART is now the most important tool we<br />
have in managing our price risk and profitability.”<br />
FEATURES<br />
11Dear Mr. Legislator:<br />
American Dairymen reprints a powerful,<br />
personal letter aimed at the lawmaking branch of our<br />
government. The letter was found on Willie Nelson’s<br />
website and should resonate with most American<br />
dairy producers.<br />
