(05/04/16) BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU Dairy Science Club honored students and dairy industry professionals at its annual banquet on April 23 at the Lod Cook Alumni Center.
The club recognized Mike and Patti Brian, owners of Feliciana’s Best Creamery in Slaughter, as Louisiana Dairymen of the Year.

Ewing, of St. Francisville, supervises the inspection of milk plants, frozen desert plants, single-service milk container plants and bulk milk tankers. He is also responsible for certification of milk haulers, samplers and milk receivers.

Morgan Richard, of Elton – T.E. Patrick Scholarship.
