Workshop in Omaha to focus on feed industry profitabilityA Feed Industry Profitability Workshop is scheduled for May 5 to 7 in Omaha, Neb. The workshop will be held at the Educational Service Unit #3, 110th and Harrison streets in Omaha. The target audience will be feed industry plant and office managers, controllers, accountants and cost center supervisors, said Dr. Tim Herrman, director of the Office of the State Chemist at Texas A&M University and a workshop instructor.
