"DHIA in America - A Foundation for Progress" is a 35-minute Ken Burns style (PBS) documentary that delves into the status of the dairy industry at the turn of the 20th century leading to the development of Cow-Testing Associations -- DHIA (Dairy Herd Improvement Associations) as we know them today. The 1st DHIA Association in America was started in Newaygo County, Michigan in 1905. Since then, DHIA has been one of the cogs to provide great strides in the U.S. dairy industry. This documentary was created to capture the 100-year history of cow-testing in America. Over 200 photos included.
